Fragile Bonds (29 page)

Without a doubt, this is the hardest book that I’ve written to date. There are so many people who have talked me off the ledge when I swore I wasn’t brave enough to hit publish because it’s so much different than anything I’ve ever done before.

Debi, Kristen and Nikki, you three are my bubble. You are my sanity. Not only did you calm me down and let me work through a million and one “what-if” scenarios, you allowed me to rip your hearts out time and time again and you kept coming back for more. I’m not sure what I would do without you!

Christine, Nichole, and Jen, thank you for coming on board to help with this book! I’m not sure where you’ve been all my life, but I’m grateful you’re here now!

And the other Jen… oh, did you have any clue what you were getting into when you met me? You’ve helped me so much with figuring out how to get the word out there, I don’t know what I would have done without you!

Anna, thank you for jumping in to weed out all of the issues with my book. I know you weren’t expecting the story you received, but it’s because of you that the book is ready to show other people!
