A SWEET LIFE

Forward by Debbie Macomber

I have no memories of my paternal grandmother. My best guess is that I
was barely four years old when she died. But, I like to think I
inherited my love of knitting from her. My older cousins tell the story
of sitting in a semi-circle in front of her rocking chair and watching
her crochet. Her fingers moved at a frantic speed as she rocked back
and forth. The amazing part is that she was sound asleep and snoring!

My father, who was the youngest boy, was basically raised by his oldest
sister, my aunt Betty, because my grandmother was diabetic. She was
often tired and sickly, spending the majority of her time in bed.

Another memory my cousins have shared with me is of our grandmother
boiling her hypodermic needles because she was insulin dependent. My
father and three of my uncles were also diabetic and, by the end of
their lives, insulin-dependent as well. And now several of my cousins
are affected by the disease.

Like my cousins, for the last twenty-five years I’ve been a Type 2 diet-controlled diabetic.

Diabetes is a life-changing disease. It’s estimated that 25.8 million
children and adults in the United States are diabetic. That’s 8.3% of
the population. My guess is that we all know someone who is diabetic.

When Brenda Novak’s youngest son, Thad, was diagnosed, she went on a
one-woman mission to do whatever was necessary to fund research for a
cure to this horrible disease. If you’ve ever met Brenda you know she
is passionate about making a difference. This is her tenth year holding
an auction to raise money for this cause and to date her efforts have
resulted in more than $2 million dollars toward research for a cure.

The book you’ve purchased will go toward making the dream of a world
free of diabetes a reality. Each one of the authors on this long list
of contributors has given of their talent and themselves to aid in this
mission. You’re about to read some of the biggest names in the field of
romance.

Three of these talented authors, Susan Wiggs, Barbara Freethy and Rachel
Van Dyken, have scored #1 placements on the New York Times best seller
lists. Now that’s impressive. The remaining eleven are all well
established authors with booming careers. In other words, you are in
for a real treat.

And really, isn’t this the best of all worlds? Not only is this an
enjoyable read but at the same time your purchase is contributing to a
worthy cause. You can’t ask for a better win/win situation.

It’s been my honor to write the forward. Keep at it, Brenda. Not only
are you one amazing author, you’re a woman with passion and heart.

Now enjoy.

With warmest wishes,

Debbie Macomber
