I would like to start by thanking Hachette Book Group, particularly Center Street, for publishing this book. I would like to thank my editor, Kate Hartson, as well as Hentry Hurt, who gave me thoughtful, appreciated criticism. I would like to thank the people who allowed me to interview them in the process of researching this book. Though you remain nameless, I learned a great deal from your expertise, testimony, and insight. I would also like to thank Judi Gill, Hurley Gill, Michelle Knesbach, and Bruce Schooley for reading drafts of this book and offering their time. I would not be where I am today were it not for the scholars I learned from including Donald E. Pease, Lucas A. Swaine, David P. Lagomarsino, and Jonathan V. Crewe. I would also like to thank Robert Mulgrew and Adam Ruderman. I will always be grateful to Lara Trump, Kellyanne Conway, and Kimberly Guilfoyle who believed in me. I would also like to thank Father Michael Jones, Eric Metaxas, Don and Dori Willeman, Father Frank Pavone, Alveda King, the Falwell family, Cardinal Dolan, Abby Johnson, and Carol Swain for their guidance. My husband Brandon is my rock, a constant source of love and encouragement. To my loyal friends and followers on social media, you have seen me grow up and go through formative times in my life. I know many of you have joined me on what I hope is the beginning of a long journey fighting for truth. I would like to thank the pro-life movement—those who came before me, and those who will come after me. There are many who have been fighting for decades for the pro-life cause and their efforts should never be forgotten. To everyone who feels unnoticed, I want you to know that every prayer prayed for the unborn, every woman whose mind was changed, and every child you saved, matters. And to those to come, the future activists not yet born, I hope you fearlessly carry the pro-life torch.
