This is the book of my heart. Yet it would not exist without the help of several amazing and talented people.
First and foremost, I must thank my editors at Harper Voyager, Priyanka Krishnan and David Pomerico, for guiding this little craft to safety. Thanks also to designer Damonza and art director Jeanne Reina for the lovely cover and to the entire team at Harper Voyager for all their hard work in making this book possible.
My deep gratitude to my agent, Mary C. Moore of Kimberley Cameron & Associates, for being my beta reader, advocate, and advisor.
Thanks to all the friends and fellow writers who read and critique my work: Charlotte, Ariella, Phoebe, Kari, and Vanessa. The writerly life would be very isolating if I did not have you.
Much love to my parents, grandmother, and sister for their enthusiasm for and encouragement of my creative pursuits.
Lastly, thanks to you, dear reader, for sharing this journey with me. I hope we meet again.
