As always, the biggest of thanks to my parents, for being the most supportive two people on the planet. To my Mom, for reading all my drafts, and listening to my ramblings about the publishing industry and my too-many story ideas. To my Dad, for being hilarious, clever, and for first encouraging me to write.
A big thank you to my wonderful editor, Natalia, for whipping this manuscript into shape. And to my beta readers: Deborah, Zaq, Kino, Freya, Saf, and Aven. Your feedback was incredibly helpful and your commentary gave me life.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention this book was written greatly to the music of Ludovico Einaudi, M83, Gang of Youths, Mumford & Sons, Of Monsters and Men, and The Irrepressibles.
Thank you to everyone on Kickstarter who has supported this project and given it so much love. I could not have had such an amazing book launch without every single one of you.
