Grateful shout-out to the best agent ever: Ammi-Joan Paquette, and best editor ever: Shaina Olmanson. I’m so thankful for your skillful help in shaping this book of my heart and ushering it into reader’s hands. Special cheers to the teams at EMLA and Lerner. Especially, Erin Murphy, Mariana Montbriand, Danielle Carnito, Athena Currier, Martha Kranes, and Megan Ciskowski. A nod and wink to all my uniquely beautiful fellow misfits who love reckless and wild. You know who you are. To my family of origin who have shared more love, support, and laughter than these pages could possibly capture, youns are all awesome. And to best mate, Brett, and the most precious and entertaining children ever. You three are a dream come true and so worth all the hard work it took to get here. Special gratitude to the Artist, Author, Poet, Musician, and Creator of all. Thanks for always being there.
