How to Say Goodbye

by Katy Colins

  I have the loveliest readers and social media supporters whose retweets, likes, comments and messages help make writing feel a whole lot less lonely. If you enjoy a book then please leave a review, tell a friend or shout about it, as it makes such a difference! A special shout-out to Sharon McGrath Vasser and Tabitha Thorn for their winning name suggestions via Facebook – Henry is here because of you.

  Of course, none of this would be possible without the insane support from my own special tribe. John, Everleigh and Auben. This is thanks to you and all for you. I love you more than you know.

  Thank you for picking up this book. If you can identify with any part of the story, please don’t think you have to cope with what you are going through on your own.
