Acknowledgments

With unwavering gratitude and love, I thank the following people for their support during this unpredictable rideâNoah and Murphy, for being good babies who let me write
Riding the Universe
in five-minute spurts during their first year; Michael, for the interest to always ask which scene I wrote that day; my stepdaughter, Devin, for her intelligent suggestions; my colleagues, Danielle Joseph, Adrienne Sylver, Linda Rodriguez Bernfeld, and Marjetta Geerling, for reading early drafts and providing excellent feedback; my amazing agent, Steven Chudney, for going along with my ideas and being the best agent everâperiod; my editor, Sarah Sevier, for her incredible insight and patience; and finally my husband, Chris NuÃ±ez, for coaxing Motor Girl out of me and onto the page, for believing in me always, and for telling me to write, baby, write, because that's what writers do. I love you.
