When Whispers of the Heart was first birthed in my imagination, I knew it could only happen in one place ... Priest Lake, Idaho. And yes ... it is a real place. A wonderful, fresh, exhilarating place where the air is so fresh it almost hurts, where the sky is so unique, its hue and richness is indelibly imprinted in your memory, where the lake is so crystal clear ... its breath-taking and awe-inspiring. It is this place ... this wonderful place close to the Canadian border where my family always spent some of each summer.

I will always remember sitting on the edge of a battered dock, swishing my feet through the cool waters, gazing into the transparent lake and watching the tiny fish gather at its edge. It was there I would dream ... dream of big things and small. It was where the sun would bake into my skin and I would reconcile those youthful romances and dream of new ones. A place I would eventually plan my own wedding and wait for my child to be born. It is a place very near to my heart.

I want to thank my family for always making family time and vacations a priority. For giving their children time to just be children. Thank you for Priest Lake ... a place that always seemed to stay the same when everything else around us always changed. Thank you for allowing me to dream.

My wish is that you can get a glimpse of one of the most beautiful places in the world, Priest Lake, and in so doing, re-live a timeless love story of Erika Crawford and T.J. Morgan.
