DEBORAH RANEY's first novel, A VOW TO CHERISH, inspired the World Wide Pictures film of the same title. Her books have since won the RITA Award, ACFW Carol Award, HOLT Medallion, National Readers' Choice Award, and have twice been Christy Award finalists. Deb and her husband, Ken Raney, enjoy life in Kansas. They have four children and eight grandchildren, who all live much too far away.
