Thanks to Susan for being Susan and helping me write this book during a hard time. Thanks to Erica for being such a cheerful, tireless cheerleader. Thanks to Maria for making it look beautiful! Thanks to Zoey for liking me and getting feisty when my honor is challenged, and thanks to Bob, always, for ensuring that my honor—so connected to self-worth—stays intact. And, Al? I love your “Where I’m From” poem. Thank you for letting me model Violet’s poem on yours!
