Acknowledgments
There may only be one name listed as the author of this
book, but I couldn’t have written it without the following
people:
My sisters. I would love you both just as much if you
weren’t my sisters. Sharing a parent with you is just an
added bonus.
My children. You are my biggest accomplishment in
life. Please never make me regret saying that.
To Weblich, CoHorts, TL Discussion Group, Book
Swap, and all the other groups I can turn to online when
I need some positive energy. You guys are a huge part of
the reason I can do this for a living, so thank you.
The entire team at Dystel & Goderich Literary
Management. Thank you for your continued support and
encouragement.
Everyone at Atria Books. Thank you for making my
release days memorable and some of the best days of my
life.
Johanna Castillo, my editor. Thank you for supporting
this book. Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for
being the biggest supporter of my dream job.
To Ellen DeGeneres, one of only four people I hope I
never meet. You are light where there is darkness. Lily
and Atlas are grateful for your shine.
My beta-readers and early supporters of each and every
book. Your feedback, support, and constant friendship
are more than I deserve. I love you all.
To my niece. I will get to meet you any day now, and
I’ve never been so excited. I’m going to be your favorite
aunt.
To Lindy. Thank you for the life lessons and the
examples of what it is to be a selfless human. And thank
you for one of the most profound quotes that will stick
with me forever. “ There is no such thing as bad people. We are
all just people who do bad things.” I’m grateful my baby sister
has you for a mother.
To Vance. Thank you for being the husband my
mother deserved and the father you didn’t have to be.
My husband, Heath. You are good, all the way to your
soul. I couldn’t have chosen a better person to father my
children and spend the rest of my life with. We are all so
lucky to have you.
To my mother. You are everything to everyone. That
can sometimes be a burden, but you somehow see
burdens as blessings. Our entire family thanks you.
And last but not least, to my damned ol’ daddy, Eddie.
You aren’t here to see this book come to life, but I know
you would have been its biggest supporter. You taught me
many things in life—the greatest being that we don’t have
to end up the same person we once were. I promise not
to remember you based on your worst days. I will
remember you based on the best, and there were many. I
will remember you as a person who was able to overcome
what many cannot. Thank you for becoming one of my
closest friends. And thank you for supporting me on my
wedding day in a way that many fathers would not have. I
love you. I miss you.
