Acknowledgments

To my husband and my children, you have shared me with the world.  I know this has not been the easiest journey.  Thank you for allowing me the time to write and pursue my dreams.
Chad, thank you for selling
Broken
to every woman you come into contact with, even though you’ve not read it.  Thank you for sacrificing your “me” time for mine, for making sure meals were always delicious, hot and ready after a long day of writing.  Part of my
dream is trying to ensure that we have a better life.  Noah and Jonah, I want you to know
that
no matter how far-fetched your dreams may seem, they are attainable
.  You can do anything you want if you try hard enough.  I love you.

A special thank you to Tina Outlaw-Kennett and Outlaw’s Vision Quest Farm for taking the time to explain to me the various types of therapy mentioned in this book.  Tina, you have
always
been so supportive of me and my big dreams.  Thank you for everything you have done for the book, but more importantly as a therapist for my own family.

To Michelle Eck, you embraced me imm
ediately and gave me a crash course in how to promote myself as an author.  You
pushed me to be better in every aspect of this journey.  You have become a good friend and I am eternally thankful for the divine intervention that led me to you and Literati Literature Lovers.

To Rosette Doyle and Your Movie Boutique, you did an incredible job bringing Broken to life in pictures.  I can’t wait to see what you do with Mending.
  It was no fluke that we were put into each other’s lives.  We have far too much in common.  You’re a good friend, and I’m thankful for you.

To
Jaimi
Lewis-McCormick and Amber Chi, you have become two of my best friends.  I look forward to that author cruise one day.  Thank you for hours of brainstorming sessions and girl talk.
  Thank you for being my cheerleaders and awesome beta readers.

To For the Love of Fifty Shades of Grey: 
Jaymi
, Shelley
, Shona, Baby T, Carol, Stacy, and Terri
.  You girls have been a tremendous source of encouragement, laughter, cheerleading and inspira
tion.  Thank you for running our
page while I worked on this book.

Last, but not least, thank you to all the reviewers and bloggers.  I don’t want to name names because I’m worried I’ll leave someone out and you all are so incredibly special to me.  Without you, I do not know where I would be at this point.  You not only read my book but you gave me the biggest compliment by telling your friends.  I am eternally grateful for your friendships, you know who you are.
