Two books were incredibly helpful when it came to my research for trench warfare: Warrior by R. G. Grant and World War I by H. P. Willmott. I also want to acknowledge two films that I found deeply moving, heartbreaking, and atmospheric: 1917 and Testament of Youth.
To my family: Mom and Dad and all my siblings. To my grandparents, who continue to inspire me daily, and to the Ross, Wilson, and Deaton clans. All of you hold me together and make me stronger.
And to my readers, for all the love and support you have given to me and my books. I’m so honored that my stories have found a home with you. Thank you for going on this journey with me.
