ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I owe a sincere thank-you to a great many people for the help and support they gave me while writing this book. First I’d like to thank my wonderful agent, Natasha Kern, for her enthusiasm and dedication. I’d also like to thank my editor, Audrey, for seeing the potential in this story and giving me the opportunity to experience the joy of writing it. I’d also like to thank the many people who read and critiqued the opening chapters, as well as my wonderful beta readers, April and KB. And finally I’d like to thank my husband and children for the encouragement and enthusiasm they’ve shown for this story, as well as their patience, as I sat at my desk hour, upon hour, staring at my computer screen and lost in my head.
 
Thank you all.
