This is that page in the back of the book where I thank everyone who helped make this possible, but could never have enough room on the page or words to thank them enough.

• Dolores & Billy for having me.

• Tiffany for encouraging me.

• Valentina for laughing at me.

• Lacy Lalene Lynch and Dabney Rice at Dupree/Miller & Associates for believing in me.

• Random House, Delacorte Press, and Beverly Horowitz for trusting me.

• Monica Jean for guiding me.

• Bara MacNeill and Colleen Fellingham for correcting me.

• Sarah Hokanson, Kevin Keele, Chris McClary, and Julius Camenzind for sharing their artistry with me.

• Monkey Max for always grinning at me.

And to everyone else who knows who they are and will wonder why they aren’t specifically named, thank you for humoring, inspiring, and supporting me.
