Acknowledgments
Thanks to: First and foremost, God, for everything he has given me. My family for putting up with me during the crazy writing frenzies. Love you, Mom! D.W., you know who you are and I will always love you, wherever you are. Jason, love always. Fannie, a forever friend. Hilary S., thanks for believing in me and putting up with question after question—all my love, girl! Deatri, thanks for everything. My friends who encouraged me, keep it coming.
