Acknowledgments
My husband, Robert, held my hand both literally and figuratively as I struggled to achieve this dream. Baby, we’ve done it.
My parents, Gary and Susan Nowlin, raised me to love myself and to love books. Mom, thanks for giving me a passion for beauty in all its forms.
Dad, thanks for being exactly the opposite of Autumn’s father.
My big sister, Elizabeth Nowlin, is awesome. Thanks for toughening me up.
My in-laws, Jay and Tina Rosener, are two of the most loving and generous people I have ever met. Guys, I could not have done this without your support.
My agent, Ali McDonald, made this dream come true. Thank you.
Thank you so very, very much.
And thank you, God, for these and all the many blessings you have given me.
