Thank you, Suzie Byrne, for your friendship and big heart.
Karl Vanderah, thanks for helping when I called with random story difficulties.
Stephanie Robinson, I’m sorry your childhood town got cut, but let’s pretend Keith grew up in Brockway.
Endless gratitude to every piece of earth I’ve ever loved—especially the wildish little realm behind my childhood house that helped me in so many ways.
Cailley, William, and Grant, I’m grateful for the love and laughter you’ve brought to my world. And to the worlds I create.
Scott, a hundred times thank you. You’re always there with a light when the power goes out. I can’t imagine finding my way to this story without you.
