Acknowledgements
So many people made this book possible. I am profoundly grateful.
First among those are Melissa Wilton and Erin Booth, who read my manuscript early on, and whose kindness and enthusiasm gave me confidence. My fellow Sporadics, especially Kellena Dunckley, thanks for your encouragement.
Thank you to the book’s best friend — cover designer Natasha Snow. Her covers are exactly what my books needed. Leanna Englert, Gaylon Greer, Nancy Gore, and Lou Ann McLean, your critiques, always honest and unsparing, always kind, have made me a more polished writer and helped me realize that I really do belong at a table set with writers as stellar as you. Thank you for your support and your friendship.
Finally, I want to thank my family. I’m a shrinking violet through and through, content to live my life at the margins. But I have three strong, smart kids: Eleanor, Colleen, and Natalie, and they need to see their mom letting her light shine so they can know it’s okay for them to shine, too. Every big step I take, kids, my love for you gets me at least halfway there. Brian, I guess it’s simplest to say the good part of my life started the day we met. I won’t say your encouragement, support, and belief in me are solely responsible for getting me here because I’ve had to take so many steps by myself and for myself, but there’s no doubt the path has been a lot easier because you always walk beside me.
About the Author
Lolly Walter grew up in a small town on the plains of central Illinois. She got a degree in English and a nice piece of paper certifying her to teach, then after jobs working with kids, at a newspaper, and even a motel, she came to the uncomfortable conclusion that to be the person she was meant to be, she’d have to leave behind a place and people she genuinely loved. She moved to Texas, married the first man she met (really, that happened!), and has never looked back.
These days, she homeschools/cajoles/chauffeurs her three children, writes like her laptop keyboard is her only source of oxygen, and catches all the baseball games she can (Go Cubs!). She loves writing about complex characters in tough situations.
