Acknowledgments

MY MOTHER, MARTHA GOOLSBY—thank you for getting behind every dream, even though it meant more work for you.

My father, Lonnie Goolsby—I don’t know that anyone could work harder for their family than you did for ours. Thank you for the blood and sweat that you gave to give us everything.

My brother, Matthew—thank you for listening to every bad joke and walking this road with me. I have always felt bad that I would get clothes for Christmas while you got truck tires, guns, and speakers, and I appreciate you never being jealous about that.

Shannon Marven—you are truly my fairy book mother. Thank you for sliding into my DMs and becoming a mentor and friend.

Daisy, Patsy, and Jenny with Hachette Book Group—when I met you, I knew my stories would be in good hands.

Sydney Delahoussaye—thank you for all of your help and encouragement.

Bruce Ayers—thank you for making me a headliner.

Casey Shoemaker and Holland Goodrow—you are a marketing super duo.

Kristie Nutt and Carly Smith—thank you for being the best backup dancers/cheer section a girl could have.

Last but certainly not least, thank you to every single person that has followed me on social media. I appreciate each and every one of you and thank you for laughing with me.
