ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

MANY THANKS AND MUCH GRATITUDE to:

My ever-amazing husband, Daniel, for all the ways he makes it possible for me to write. It never goes unnoticed and I’ll never take it for granted. I love you so much, babe.

My generous parents, Lee and Leslie, for the myriad ways they support and encourage not just me, but my whole family.

Meagan Casimir, Jim Gleason, Eric Goberman, and Don Peshek, for sharing their heart transplant stories and helping me with the accuracy of the medical side of the story.

Dr. Kate Hrach, for sharing her time and knowledge and reading my manuscript to make sure my medical ignorance didn’t show.

Dudley Delffs, for getting me such amazing book covers!

Sarah Fields, for providing Marisa with the perfect name.

Miriam, April, Jessica, Ruth, Heather, Linda, Debbie, and Maggie, for stepping in when my creativity cut out. (Thank heavens for Facebook!)
