A special thanks goes out to my agent, Ammi-Joan Paquette, a great writer herself, a stellar agent, and an all-around excellent person. Much gratitude goes to the team at Amulet Books, who devoted many hours behind the scenes, and to Tamar Brazis, my talented editor, for her tireless revision notes that led to the heart of my characters.
To my extended writing community and the Gango (fellow clients of the Erin Murphy Literary Agency), who are always present with advice, support, and love. Gratitude goes to my legal expert, Tyler Williams, and to the kind souls who have stepped up with valuable critiques over the years: Beryl Vaughan, Kay Allan, Trudie Scott, Laurie Huff, Osnat Oron, and Martin Hauser.
To my grandfather and fellow writer, Darrell Huff, who passed along a love of words and who once gave me a "job" that provided me with the time to launch my career and life's passion.
Immense gratitude goes out to Janice Schulman, my first editor. Her thoughts helped shape this book, and her belief in me, along with crossed fingers and toes, helped make it all happen.
Lastly, a heartfelt thanks to my family. To my daughter, Annalise, for her "plot-hole" spotting ability and valuable teen insights. Although it took cold, hard cash to get her to read it for the fifth time, I appreciate her dedication! To my youngest, Julia, a writer at heart and master of plots, who never stops thinking and sharing; and to my husband, Robert, who has worked hard and sacrificed much to buy me an invaluable stretch of time to pursue my dreams.
