I would have been unable to write this if not for the support and encouragement of Kelly Milner Halls. Thank you, friend, for being a mentor to me as I became a writer. Kevin Shields, thanks for helping me make sure I got things right for Nash. My gratitude goes out to all the excellent friends and writers who were willing to read for me: Pete Fromm, Beth Cooley, Sheri Boggs, Kerry Halls, Carole Allen, Anne Walter, Ava Walter, Claire Rudolph Murphy, Mari Hunt, and Jen Menzer. You each showed me ways to make Maggie and Nash’s story more complete. Thanks, too, to all the editors who read the book and took the time to offer feedback even though it wasn’t right for them. Every piece of that made the book better and helped me become a stronger writer.
To my parents, Tom and Sandi Burns, who always encouraged me to learn and read: thank you. Finally, I am so grateful to my husband, Andy, and my daughter, Kate, for giving me the time and space to write and for believing I could actually do this.
About the Author
Kris Dinnison learned to read when she was five years old. She grew up reading books nobody else had read and listening to music nobody else had heard of and thinking she was weird, which she kind of was. She spent nearly two decades as a teacher and librarian working with students from kindergarten to graduate school. The bulk of that time was spent teaching high school English while dreaming of becoming a writer. Now she lives and writes in Spokane, Washington.
