I would like to thank my son, Jake, who helped me to navigate through the choppy waters and gave me the courage to put myself and my words out there. Thank you for your patience; I know I wasn’t easy.
I would like to thank my daughter, Leah, who is currently teaching English two continents away from me. Your fearlessness, sense of adventure, wit, and talent inspire me. You are the bravest person I know.
I would like to thank my sister, Linda. Thank you for your enthusiasm, encouragement, and technical support. Who would have thought that those long, sad days at Kaplan House would turn into something wonderful and lasting?
My girl posse . . . Laurie and Angie. What would I do without the laughs? I am so blessed to be sharing this wonderful new adventure with you.
To Donna . . . Thanks for the times you have had to be the both of us. I know it is exhausting. You are my bestie forever. xxoo
To my Allendale and Crosby friends. I am honored to stand among you. Thank you for taking time away from evaluations, grades, lesson plans, and the rest of the growing list of academic craziness to support me. Where you find the time to read I will never know, but I thank you for it!
My Goodreads girls . . . Chaddy and Diana. Your encouragement, support, and friendship have meant so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
And last but not ever, ever least, thanks to all the readers who took a chance on a new author. I thank you for your fearlessness! And for your support, and your encouragement. I look forward to continuing this journey with you.
