Gratitude forevermore to the Untitled Writers Group (Karen Everson, Anne Harris, Jonathan Jarrard, Lisa Leutheuser, Erica Schippers, Catherine Shaffer, Shannon White, and Sarah Zettel) for sympathetic ears and unsympathetic critiques.

Gratitude also goes to Deirdre Saoirse Moen and Christina Stitt for critiques of the early chapters. Jim Morrow’s advice was also greatly appreciated.

Jana Sibson, Esq., gave valuable advice about custody cases involving children, both born and unborn.
