An extra-special shout-out to my editor, Wendy Loggia, for being patient and kind on top of everything else she is. Another special shout-out to Martha Rago and Neil Swaab for the gorgeous cover design, Jyotirmayee Patra for the lovely hand lettering and Renike for the stunning illustration. And still more extra-special shout-outs to Joelle Hobeika and Sara Shandler, who believed in me and believed in me and believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself.
During times of stress, I tend to retreat from the world. The hugest of thank-yous to David Jung and Sabaa Tahir, who made me talk when all I wanted to do was hide. I love you guys a lot.
Thanks to my mom and dad and sister and niece just for being.
Thanks to my little girl, Penny, for noticing the way rain changes the colors of the world. You are pure magic and I love being your mama.
And, finally, thanks to my husband, David Yoon. I’m the luckiest because I get to adventure through this life with you. I love you forever.
