To Jenny and Gitte at totallybookedblog.com, for your heart-thumping review. I could kiss you a fucktillion times, and it wouldn’t be enough.
To Jacy Mackin, editor extraordinaire, for spittin’ and shinin’ with infallible aim. Your skillz leave me supine and smiling.
To my beta readers, Amber at ambersreadingroom.com, Mare Mulvey at redhotbluereads.blogspot.com, Brooke Hoover, Jeanice Monson, Angie Halteman, and Monica Robinson, for your commitment, encouragement, and invaluable reactions.
To survivors of sexual abuse, for bullying your demons in any manner you choose, and for accepting only the definition of therapy that works for you. You have the right to remember. To voice it. To be pissed off about it. Above all, to be proud. You’ve outlasted your scars and can teach the lesson on heroism.
