ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

As always, a huge thank you to my husband and three beautiful girls. I love you all so much and cannot tell you how much your support means to me. Your excitement and enthusiasm for this book is what kept me going over the three long years it took to complete this story. I really hope I made you proud.

A special thank you to Sofia. My budding artist. My reading buddy. My middle baby. Thank you so much for drawing the perfect representation of the Wildflowers on the cover. I will never forget us sitting together, figuring out what each flower needed to be in order to represent its character. Also, thank you for helping me rewrite certain sections of this story. Love you, baby.

Marion Archer. You not only edited this story once, but TWICE. Thank you so much for helping me mold these into relatable characters with so much potential to change lives. You are the kindest, most patient person in the world, and it’s been my absolute pleasure to work with you on this book.

Sali Benbow-Powers. Girl. I am so happy you were available to beta read this book. Your advice and suggestions helped me take this story to a whole new level, the level I had hoped it would be from the very beginning. Thank you for taking your very valuable time to not only read, but to bond with these characters and help with their evolution. You have no idea how much I appreciate you and how much I miss our daily conversations.

Spencer Hill Press. Thank you so much for believing in my work and the messages I aim to share with readers. I am so blessed to work alongside you and am so thankful to you for publishing We, the Wildflowers. I can’t wait to see our baby on shelves everywhere!

Danielle Sanchez and Wildfire Marketing Solutions. Thank you for all that you do. I know so much of what you do is behind the scenes, and that the majority of it I am completely unaware is happening, but please know how appreciated you are. I say this to you all the time, but I hope you understand how truly blessed I feel to have you in my corner. I adore you.

And of course, a HUGE thank you to all of you awesome readers and bloggers out there. Your excitement is contagious, your support genuine and heartfelt. I love each and every one of you for that. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for not only reading my work, but for helping spread the word about my books and for sharing my stories. It’s because of you that I am able to reach those who need to hear my messages, and it’s because of you that I continue to write. Thank you.
