WRITING CONTINUES TO BE an incredible journey, and I am thankful for the many people who are filling my tank, fixing my flat tires, and traveling alongside me: agent Matt Bialer; editor Jennifer Weis and the team at St. Martin’s Press; publicist Tolly Moseley at Phenix & Phenix Literary Publicists; and my other employer, Amy Newmark at Chicken Soup for the Soul.
My deep gratitude also goes out to Terri Walker for cheering me on; Estel Kempf and Charlie Biamonte for their wisdom; Grant Walker for being a fabulous uncle; Jennifer Walker for always making me laugh; Becky Mc-Nulty for being my big sister; Sharon Cohen for two decades of friendship; Caroline, Rhys, and Sam Scheibe for being the best cousins in the world; Cheryl Walker for her courage in life; Kris and Steve Pecheone for their open door; my incredible friends who are always there; and the three wonderful boys who inspire me daily.
