Acknowledgments

Writing a novel involves months, sometimes years, of plotting, planning, and fretting over every word, and this book was no different. It also involves the support and dedication of wonderful friends and loyal fans. Thank you all!


My heartfelt thanks to the readers who have stuck with me through this wonderful journey. Your encouragement and kind words are priceless.


To my wonderful editor Kate Schomaker, thank you for your enthusiasm, for tightening my prose, and for your patience with my refusal to learn the proper placement of commas. Glad to find a kindred spirit who drinks red wine on all occasions.


To my boys, Alex and Zach, I hope you live dreams of your own. And finally, to my husband Theo, thank you for continually reminding me of your love and that making the tough choice was worth it. xoxo
