  To my agent, Catherine Drayton—you are my voice of reason (and humor) on this wild ride. I thank God you are only an email or a Skype visit away. Thank you, thank you, for still believing in and fighting for me.

  To Lyndsey Blessing—your ability to negotiate foreign rights deals is truly humbling.

  To the staff of InkWell Management—thank you for all of your hard work on my behalf. Because of you, I can call myself lucky!

  To Phil Bacharach—thank you for introducing me to the world of TV interviews, and not laughing at me when I gave them.

  To my parents, Karen and Dennis Stine—not only did you set an outstanding example of how to be a parent, but you also helped me survive when I became one myself.

  To Jinx Hudson—grandmother extraordinaire, babysitter par excellence, and tireless publicist. You are not only my husband and son’s family, but mine as well.

  To Melissa Peters Allgood—you have kept me sane. Not an easy task. You don’t need me to tell you that you are my sister in spirit, always.

  To Kristen Buttram Beery—what you did for me, and for this book, can never be repaid. I love you dearly.

  To Melissa Thompson and Mandy Haskins—you are my first readers, and my best.

  To my dear friends Beth Prykryl, Krissy Carlson, Andi Newby, Tony Andre, Jason Brown, the YLD, and so many others—you keep doing it; you keep making me a better person. Why are you so awesome like that?

  Finally, to my husband, Robert, and my son, Wyatt—you are the reason. You are my heart.
