Thank you, Dawnita Kiefer, for never giving up on this story.
Thank you, Steve and Jill Erickson, for the steady, loving presence you are in our family. I love you both dearly. And thank you for selling my books at Spoils of Wear!
Thank you, Tarryn Fisher—for so many things—but when it comes to books, thank you for believing in my work from day one. It’s an honor to write books with you and it’s an honor to call you my family. I love you.
To my dad. I still get hives when I think of you reading my books, you little sneaky critter! I love you so much.
Thank you to the rest of my family and friends who pour into my life with love and prayers and kindness. Grace Place, I’m grateful in particular for you. Savita Naik, I love you. Kell Donaldson, so much love for you. I could go on and on. Claire Contreras…our voxes are life. Sidney Parker, love you. Maria, Milano, that goes for you too.
To Nate, Greyley, and Indigo, my everythings. Thank you for cheering me on, even when it means far-off eyes and a spacey wife and mama. You’re the best part of me. I love you.
Thank you to the Asters. You have a special place in my heart, always.
A very special thank you to Winston…#SirWinstonofInver…the only true part of this story. You have made my life a thousand times better. Thanks to Underdog Rescue for getting him and so many others out of these horrific puppy mills.
Last but certainly not least, thank you to all of the bloggers who signed up to read this book and all those who didn’t but have read my work in the past. I’m so grateful for every review and for all your help! And thank you to every author who has been warm and welcoming…for those of you who have been on my podcast, Living in the Pages, or who have shared cover reveals and thoughts about my books—so grateful for every one of you!
XO,
Willow
