Acknowledgements

We have to start with everyone at the Nancy Yost Literary Agency, from the interns who read this over and over again to Natanya who changed the cover multiple times until we thought it was perfect. And, of course, last but certainly not least, thank you to our fabulous, sassy southern agent, Sarah Younger, for helping us fit all the pieces together so we could get this book out to the world as soon as possible.

To our Padded Roomers, thank you for staying with us. We promise to post more! We swear!

To Erik, Mya, and Mason: Thank you for all the love you give me every day. You inspire me to push myself beyond what I ever thought was possible.

To Nick and Nolan: I couldn't love two guys more than I love the two of you. Nick, you're the best Daddy, husband, and friend, and I love you more each day. Nolan, thank you for finally understanding that writing is one of Mommy’s jobs and for letting me open a computer next to you without smashing all the keys.
