Acknowledgments

Writers create stories in solitude, but publishing a book is a team effort. I’m thankful for all the wonderful people who have helped me along the way. I will always be indebted to my parents, Anahid and Gabriel, and miss them every day. They taught me to work hard and never stop believing in myself.

Thanks to my girls—Laura and Gabrielle—for believing in mom. I’m eternally grateful to John for his never-ending support, encouragement, and love.

Thank you to my agent, Stephany Evans, for your guidance and for always believing in me.

And a special thank you to my editor, Alycia Tornetta, and Entangled Publishing for all their work on my behalf.

Last, thanks to my readers. Without you, there would be no books!
