ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Many thanks go to Courtney Miller, Terry Goodman and my author team at Amazon, who are amazing in so many ways. I feel truly privileged to know and work with you all. Also, as always, thanks to Kim Witherspoon, Allison Hunter, Nathaniel Jacks and everyone at Inkwell, who make all of this so much easier. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Kristin Hannah—always and forever, but for this book in particular—because she believed in it so strongly from the start, even when I was flailing. Thanks also to Suzanne Droppert and everyone at Liberty Bay Books in Poulsbo, Washington, for jumping so enthusiastically on my bandwagon; I appreciate it so much. My family has been so generous with their support and love through some very difficult times—I hope you all know how important you are to me. And of course, I could not do this without Kany, Maggie and Cleo, who make it all worthwhile.
