Thank You

So many people have walked with me on this journey. For insightful readings, inspiration, and endless encouragement, I especially want to thank Elisabeth Benfey, Eileen Pettycrew, Susan Blackaby, Linda Zuckerman, and Kelly Lenox—this book would not exist without you. I am lucky to have such a remarkable and supportive family: my parents, Warren and Gerda Rovetch, and my sisters, Lissa Rovetch and Jennifer Rovetch. Thank you to the amazing Greenwillow team; to Steve Geck, my editor, for understanding Persephone from the start and leading this book deeper; and to Nancy Gallt, my agent, for helping it fledge into the world. And thank you, thank you, thank you, Richard, Sam, and Kate.
