From the Author

When my father died in March 2007 I felt lost and alone and I wanted to do something that would last, so I decided to write a story for a Cup of Comfort anthology. I had submitted stories to Cup of Comfort and Chicken Soup before and never got a response. When I sent them Chili Night, I got an immediate response and a contract. I haven't looked back since.

Chili Night was written about a time in my life when I was working two jobs and taking care of my three boys without any help from my family or their father. It was a difficult time for me and for them, but moments like the one described in the story, the moments when there is laughter following the tears, gave me what I needed to go on. In writing the story, I hoped to touch another single mother's life and remind her that even when things are at their worst, life can and will surprise you.
