Thank you to my parents, Woody and Page Johnson, for raising me in a home with books and stories and imagination. You were always out there in the crowd—cameras ready—making me believe I could do and be anything.

To Ellie, Avery, and Cayden, a million thank-yous for being my biggest fans and for putting up with Mommy when I “zone out” during drafting or when we eat takeout for three weeks straight during revision. You’ve given me the time to pursue this dream, but know that you are the dream. You are each so kind, brave, and beautiful.

To my husband, Kyle: You had faith in me and in this book when it was just a bunch of random Post-it notes on the office wall. You believed in me even when I didn’t, and you loved me with all my flaws. None of this is possible without you.

Finally, I am forever grateful for a God who has given me more stars in the darkness than I deserve or could ever count.
