To my husband, Colin … what else is there to say to you? After twelve years, you’re still my closest friend and biggest supporter. Thank you for being a witness to my life, for all your love and hard work and devotion to our family. You are stellar in every way. I love you.
This book wouldn’t exist had it not been for the inspiration given to me by the coolest redheaded twins I know, Mallory and Amanda Warman. You’re both so beautiful, and I’m so proud to call you my (almost) sisters. (Also, I’m crazy about your big brother!) I also want to thank my critique partners, Mary Warwick and Cheryl Alsippi, for keeping me motivated, even when these Pittsburgh winters make us all want to crawl back into bed for the day.
Finally, I have to recognize Michael Merck. Out of every person I know, you are by far the most positive and cheerful, even in the bleakest of situations. Your optimism and enthusiasm for every aspect of life is truly inspirational. I’ve never met anybody else who can look at the most hopeless situation and find a way to turn it into something good. You’re like the Mister Rogers of Regent Square. (Your wife is pretty cool, too! Jennifer Merck, you write a mean haiku!)
