My family. I love you. Forever.
My girls. You stuck by me even when I wanted to put out this fire and kept me fighting. Thank you.
Emily. It’s been amazing working with you, and thank you so much for being so understanding with my picky side. Great work.
Joy. It was a pleasure to work with you again. Thank you for all the time you put into making my words shine.
Jordan, Henry, Axe, Justin, and Denny. Thank you so much for your help with all the firefighting details. You are brave souls for whom I have the utmost respect.
I chose to tell this story. I chose it because so often we’re lost in life, in love, and we’ve forgotten when we gave our heart in the first place where it would take us. This story is about the journey.
A stay-at-home mom, Chelsea spends her days drinking entirely too much caffeine, baking sugar-sweet treats she never eats, playing on Pinterest and jotting down notes for her novels. A dreamer at heart, she’s been creating happily ever afters. She’s a lover, a writer, a dreamer, would rather type than speak, wants to remember everything, loves lots of ice in her drinks, and is slightly introverted.
