I glanced at him and realized the others were waiting on me. I took in their expressions, their trust, their quiet courage and strength, Cage’s hand firm against mine. The guilt inside me twisted into something new: resolve, purpose. My parents might be gone, but I still had family. And I would not let anything happen to them.
“All right,” I said. “Let’s get going.” We started forward together, shoulder to shoulder, a force of determination against the dangers ahead. Maybe we’d find our friends over this hill. Or maybe we’d find nothing but blood and death and destruction. But whatever awaited us, we’d deal with it. Because whatever it was, well, we’d been there before.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ARE AMAZING. THEY’RE A great way to make sure you offend a lot of people who helped you along your journey and then slipped your mind when it came to the all-important public part of saying thank you.
But that said, there are so many people who affect an author’s book. Containment would not exist without them, and I would be remiss not to thank them.
First of all, to everyone who read and reviewed Sanctuary: Containment exists because of you. Thank you for your kind words, for your support, for your enthusiasm. Young adult readers are the best community in the world, and it’s an amazing privilege and joy to be part of it. I would particularly like to thank the members of reading groups such as TBR and Beyond, as well as the amazing bookstagrammers whose beautiful photos of Sanctuary filled my heart with joy.
As always, my family plays a critical role in supporting me: my husband, Dan, who let me drag him to Tokyo for a year just because; my parents, Audrey and Lanny; my siblings, Chris and Kim; and my nephew, Emmett. I’m also blessed with an amazing family by marriage: Liz, Brian, and Erin, you are incredible people.
And my cousin Sarah. She gets grouchy when she’s not included.
On the writing side of things, my agent, Caitie Flum, is one of the best people I know, and has been beyond supportive no matter what problems we encounter. Liza Dawson and all of the people at Liza Dawson Associates deserve a share of the praise as well! My editor at Simon Pulse, Sarah McCabe, is not only a fantastic editor but an incredible human being. And there are so many others who bring a book to life: Tricia Lin (special thanks for your editorial input and help with the Mandarin!), Mara Anastas, Chriscynethia Floyd, Rebecca Vitkus, Sara Berko, Sarah Creech, Caitlin Sweeny, Alissa Nigro, Anna Jarzab, Lauren Hoffman, Nicole Russo, Samantha Benson, and Christina Pecorale and her sales team.
