ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Thanks, as always, to my husband, and to my critique partner,
Rinda Elliott, for being my first sounding boards.

Thanks to Alex Elliott, the first reader from my target audience.

Thanks to my editor, Mary-Theresa Hussey, and to the entire
editorial and production teams, for believing in this book.

And a huge thank you to my agent, Miriam Kriss,
for holding my hand and keeping me sane.
