Thank you to my “bestie” Sammi Rozakis, for dealing with my moans and groans and listening when I needed to talk through something. You’re the best!
Thank you to Rebekah Purdy for critiquing this, for the YAFFers who helped whip this into shape when it was still a couple of chapters and an idea, and to Jennifer Mishler, who championed it. This was a labor of love, and I couldn’t have done it without you all.
Last, but not least, Randy, thank you for being my own personal Haven. In all of the ways that word implies. I love you.
