Ruth, you came along and believed in me at just the right time.

Kelsey, your unwavering support, belief, and enthusiasm changed the trajectory of my writing life, which would be unrecognizable without your confident encouragement.

Revell team, especially Michele, Karen, Jessica, and Nathan, your hard work, your kindness, and your willingness to stand with me at conferences and hand out ARCs to total strangers has meant the world to me. You have been tireless champions of my writing. Thank you.

Rachelle, thanks for taking me on, and for whatever else might be around the bend.

Mom and Dad, I know you didn’t have a lot of money, but you bought me books, and that changed everything for me.

To the Kindred Collective, my Kentucky crew, for the love and space you’ve given Mai and me. It’s nearly impossible to put into words what each of you means to me, or how you continually remind me that writing is about more than publishing. You help me circle back around to who I am.

To Dinner Club, for the laughs, the tears, and the life, for the stories and the late nights. We still need a hashtag.

Bryan, your friendship has made me a better person, despite your faulty adoration of Wheat Chex. This book is for Parker.

To Cade, Lucy, Abra, Sam, Leo, and Poppy, for being exactly who you are.

To Maile, my love. Let’s keep writing.
