From the Author
Dear Reader: Once Toni Ferrier made her appearance in Coming Home, I knew I had to tell her story in a book of her own. Toni, a former fashion model who now works as a minimum-wage retail clerk struggling to make a life for herself and her fatherless son, can’t help but know she’s a beautiful woman--on the outside. But on the inside, in her own mind, she’s an ugly, pathetic creature who’s made horrible mistakes for which she cannot forgive herself. How can she, when the consequences of her selfish choices affect nearly every aspect of her present life? When Toni meets her employer’s "adopted" son Clark McConaughey, she’s intrigued, attracted--and scared to death, especially when she realizes he’s also attracted to her. A good, decent man like Clark would never be able to love her if he knew the whole awful truth about her past. . . I wrote Snow Swan because I believe passionately in the grace and forgiveness of a loving God, and because I believe until we learn to forgive ourselves we do not easily forgive those who’ve wronged us. I put a great deal of energy into the research and writing of this book, including participation in an Al-Anon group to better understand addictive behaviors and tendencies--none of which I had, of course. Then I got honest with myself. I came away with wonderful lessons for my own life. One letter I received from a reader the day before Christmas 1998 made all my hard work even more worthwhile. My correspondent had been given the book by a friend who knew nothing of her past except that she was ashamed of it. He saw her inability to trust, her low self-esteem, and her pattern of pushing love away, and he knew she needed a new perspective on herself in the same way Clark comes to understand in Snow Swan that Toni needs a new, God’s-eye view of her worth and lovableness. "In many ways," my correspondent wrote, "I am so similar to Toni that it scares me. She asked what I’ve asked and felt what I’ve felt. . . [After I read Snow Swan] I asked myself how I could ever heal if I couldn’t love myself enough to ask God to forgive me? How could I ask God to forgive me if I couldn’t forgive myself?" With those questions, my new friend is moving toward healing. Her letter is the reason I write.
Warmly, Barbara Jean Hicks

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to BooksRun, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
