Thank you, Mom and Dad, for being people of great faith. Mom, you taught me that individuals were complicated, worth seeing, and worth loving. Dad, your passion for words and family has been a polar star in my life. I love you both.
And Kip, I know what it is like to be across the ten thousand miles of the world from you, and I am so glad you are at my side. Thank you for all the evenings you came home and said, “Why don’t you write?” I could not have a truer, more supportive, husband.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Like many of my siblings, I would sneak out of bed, slip into the hallway, and pull my favorite books from the book closet. I read my way through the bottom shelf, then the next shelf up, and the shelf above that, until I could climb to the very top shelf—stacked two layers deep and two layers high—and read the titles of the classics. My desire to create stories grew as I was learning to read them.
Subsequently, I spent my time scribbling in notebooks rather than listening to math lectures at school.
I graduated with a degree in literary studies, and have spent several years working on the novels that keep pounding on the doors of my mind, as none of my characters are very patient to wait their turn. I currently live in Orem, Utah, with my wonderful chemist husband, and books in every room of the house.
