Many thanks to the members of New Hampshire and Massachusetts twelve-step groups, who taught me what I needed to know to write Claudia’s journey to recovery.
As always, I want to thank the following people for their unwavering dedication and help.
The women of Leah Mae’s Tea Room in Haverhill, MA. They answered all the questions I had while serving me high tea.
Mia Marlowe, my fabulous, almost famous critique partner. If you like my sense of humor, go check out her historical romances. Oftentimes, her “quips” wind up in my books! Ha! She’ll be the first one to tell you, “Be careful what you say around a writer.” (Heh heh.)
Nicole Resciniti, my fabulous agent, for her feedback, encouragement, and belief in me. When she says things like, “You did it again!” and I know she means it in a good way, it’s priceless.
Also my editor for this series, Leah Hultenschmidt. I could always count on her to be kind when she twisted my arm.
