The Rest Falls Away

Acknowledgments

I cannot thank Marcy Posner enough for taking me under her wing and working with me for the last two years. And a world of thanks to Claire Zion for taking a chance on me and Victoria's story, and for always seeming to verbalize my ideas before I do! Tina Brown has been fantastic with everything from answering simple "newbie" questions to providing support and keeping everything flowing so smoothly.

My sisters at the Wet Noodle Posse are also top on my list to thank. I've never met a more supportive, loving, talented group of women.

Without Holli and Tammy, I would have been floundering on chapter one for months. Thank you for being there, every single week, and for all of your support and guidance and those darn questions you kept asking! Also many hugs and gratitude to Mom, Jennifer, Linda, Kelly, Diana, Wendy, Jana, and Kate, for being there during this story and countless others. I love you all!

Thank you to my husband and children for putting up with all the times I'm at the computer, or lost in thought trying to work out a plot problem. And thanks to Mary Kay—you know why. And finally, most important, I thank my Creator, without whom none of this would be possible.
