Liberty Begins (The Liberty Series) (19 page)

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to my wonderful husband and three beautiful children. You have been so patient, supportive and loving — you’ve put up with empty stares, dirty laundry and many nights of pancakes (or worse) for dinner. I love you so much. You make everything worth it.

Thank you to my wonderful Mom, Dad, and brother, who have always supported me and helped me. You did this time, too, every step of the way. (Note to my parents: please don’t read the sex scenes. That’s just….eww.)

Thank you to my first readers, Jane and Wendy, for being endlessly cheerful and enthusiastic. You gave me the confidence and courage to go on. Thank you to my girlfriends, for listening to me whine and keeping me sane, from here to eternity. Leigh Berry, thank you for the beautiful cover and all of your help. And special thanks to David Taylor at thEditors, who did a fabulous job of editing the book and helped guide me. Liberty wouldn’t be the same without you.
