To my in-laws and outlaws, thanks for so much help this year. The Wallaces and Stewarts (Rick, Olivia, Brandon, Elizabeth, Bailey, Benson, Pippy, Jarod, Brianne, Isaac, Jake, Zeke, and Little Liv) are a blessing. My sister-in-law, Elizabeth Wallace, is a saint. She fed me mints and changed ice packs on my hands and feet during chemo appointments. I don’t have enough words or pages to express my gratitude.
And last but not least, so many thanks to my husband, Jamie. Thanks for taking this journey with me. The road has been bumpy, but it’s never been lonely. Love you forever.

She’s a sucker for slow-burn romances, near-miss kisses, and ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
