Acknowledgments

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This story is very personal for me, and many of the details were inspired by events from my own past, but Every Single Lie could not exist without the input and efforts of many others. With that in mind, I would like to thank the following people:

Infinite thanks go to Maegan Chaney-Bouis, MD, for answering my medical questions about teen pregnancy and delivery. Any mistakes made are my own.

Thanks also to Clayton Westbrooks, for answering my frequent and specific questions about small-town police procedure. Again, any mistakes are my own.

Thanks, as always, to Jennifer Lynn Barnes, my frequent lunch and writing buddy, for all the suggestions and advice. I hope to see you again, when this pandemic finally ends.

Thanks to my daughter, whose stressful experience applying to West Point made such an impression on me that it became Penn’s obsession and coping mechanism.

Thank you, of course, to my agent, Ginger Clark, for all the things a literary agent handles, not the least of which involve hand-holding and talking me off ledges.

Thanks to the amazing production team at Bloomsbury, including Claire Stetzer, for all the work that went into Every Single Lie, at every single level. (See what I did there?!?)

And finally, all of my gratitude goes to Cindy Loh, my editor, for taking a chance on this book. On me, and on a story that gutted me with every word I wrote. This book would not exist without you, your patience, your enthusiasm, and your invaluable input.
