Acknowledgments

Let me start by not acknowledging how long it took me to write this book. It’s a miracle Lex and Eleanor survived the neglect they suffered over the years! As usual I am thankful for the love, support, and feedback of the Rainy Day Writers:  Kristine Cayne, Josefin Kannin, Dawn Kravagna, KL Mullens, Shannon O’Brien, Sherri Shaw, and Marianne Stillings. You ladies never let me give up on this story and I’m grateful. Much thanks and a big hug to Janna MacGregor, who is always encouraging and always available for a plotting session. For making my writing a thousand times better, I am most appreciative of the editing skills of Chris Keeslar. And finally, thanks to my husband and kids for their patience. You guys are the best.
