Acknowledgments 

The Lotus Flower Champion is very special to us. Not only is this Love’s first published novel, but it is also Pintip’s first time co-authoring a book—and with her daughter, no less. Creating this story together is a gift beyond our wildest dreams. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Alexander Te Pohe for reaching out to Pintip and seeing the potential in this idea and partnership. Molly Majumder, we are so grateful for your insights, which have made the story so much stronger and richer. Stacy Abrams, you are the ultimate wordsmith magician! Thanks to you—and to Liz Pelletier—for your support and enthusiasm for this project. The rest of the team at Entangled has been nothing short of spectacular, especially Elana Cohen, Brittany Zimmerman, Heather Riccio, Curtis Svehlak, Meredith Johnson, Hannah Lindsey, and Angela Melamud. We are so thrilled to be part of the Entangled family. Special shout-out to the unbelievably talented Elizabeth Stokes who created Lotus Flower’s MAGICAL cover.

We have so much gratitude for Kate Schafer Testerman, our amazing literary agent. Thank you for your deft guidance and unflagging support.
