Thank you to my son, Oskar, and my husband, Goran, for being early readers and for giving excellent (and brutally honest) critiques. To the team at Tundra: Kelly Hill for another wonderful cover; Sue Tate, who expertly helped me get rid of the potholes; and especially Kathy Lowinger, who saw the diamond in the rough and who worked tirelessly to help me tell the story I wanted to tell and tell it well.
Thanks also to my agent, Hilary McMahon, for her passion, kindness, and smarts.
