Acknowledgments

Every time I finish a story, I realize that it takes a village.

To my mother, who used to dictate my stories before I could even write.

To my crit partners over the years, who have made me a better writer.

To my agent, Joyce Hart, and the incredible team at Revell, for believing in the stories running through my head.

And to my family, who continues to support me and the time it takes to pen a story.

Thank you!
