Acknowledgments

It takes one person to actually write a book.

However, it takes an army to keep that person sane.

So to the

FIVE amazing teachers who let me paint the sky red,

FOUR insane friends who told me to listen to the voices in my head,

THREE nosey brothers—Jodd, Justin, and yes you Alex—who brought me Oreos,

TWO awe-inspiring parents who always told me just do it, and really believed I could,

ONE publishing company, TWCS, that took a diamond in the rough and made it “reflect,”

Thank you all so much.
