Acknowledgments

As always, much gratitude to my readers, for without you, there are no books.

A major debt to Liz Alterman, my buddy and compatriot in publishing. Thank you to my astute beta reader, Megan Easley-Walsh, and to Polly Kahl for dialogue help.

Much gratitude to Bookstagram for your support and warm welcome.

To the first responders and essential workers: While Romy and Heath left Brooklyn, I did not, and I’m in awe of your strength and perseverance during the pandemic.

Thank you so much to my online support network: Wide for the Win, Trauma Fiction, Cops and Writers, Vellum Users.
