Loved - A Novel

  To everyone else who has cheered me on as I wrote and wrote and wrote, not knowing what this might become. Thank you for saying, “you can do it!” in your own ways. You know who you are!

  To everyone who inspired this story, good and bad: Thank you for shaping my heart. I wouldn’t be me without you.
