ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Special and heartfelt thanks to my lovely and generous brigade of beta-readers: Juanita, Laura, Eris, and, of course, my beloved mama, Leigh. Thank you all for letting me constantly annoy you and for all the help and support you've given me.

So much gratitude to Arnold and Leigh for a childhood house full of books and for letting me know that a writer was an okay something to be. I love you both!

Thank you to Sue Laybourn, at No Stone Unturned Editing, for the bang-up editing job and depths of patience.
