Acknowledgments
I must first thank my husband, Jaime, because without my picking his brain about possible plot scenarios, this book never would have made it past page one hundred. Also, he turned this book’s dedication into something beautiful.
As for the sleep-destroying nightmare that became chapter 1—thank you!
Marlene Stringer, my dear agent, you rock. Enough said.
Emily Easton, Nicole Gastonguay, Laura Whitaker, Melissa Kavonic, Regina Roff, Donna Mark, Patricia McHugh, and everyone else at Walker Books who has put time, thought, effort, and sweat into this book, thank you! It amazes me what a group effort book publishing is, and I am eternally grateful for your professional expertise.
Bonny Anderson and Kristin Wester, you are the best critique buddies a girl could hope for. On that note—Elana Johnson, thank you for reading the first ten pages and asking a hundred questions. You opened my eyes to endless possibilities.
Last of all, thank you to Mom and Dad, Tiffiny, Brittany, Natalie, Matt and Ashlee, Ashlee’s mom and sister, Jennifer, Michelle, and Eamonn for reading this in manuscript form and loving it. Your enthusiasm is what makes me love to write.
