acknowledgments

All hail Gina Rogers, narrator extraordinaire and the muse who brought Finny back to life.

Thank you to my agent, Ali McDonald, and everyone at 5 Otter Literary. You ladies are amazing.

Annette Pollert-Morgan, I could not have pulled this off without you. Well, maybe I could have, but I wouldn’t be as proud of this book as I am without your tough love.

My family has been so supportive of me through all the ups and downs of my career. Rob, Austin, Mom and Dad, Elizabeth, thank you for everything. There just aren’t words.

My son, Percy, was very patient as I took time away to write this book. He recently asked me if, after the book was done, I’d ever have to do this again. I’m sorry, sweetheart, but I am planning on doing this again.
