Juniper & Thorn(99)

Thank you to my editors, David Pomerico and Sam Bradbury, for all their support and insight. Thank you to Mireya Chiriboga, Kelly Shi, Lisa McAuliffe, Rachel Kennedy, Róisín O’Shea, and everyone at Harper Voyager and Del Rey for helping to bring this book into the world.

Thank you to Allison Saft and Rachel Morris, for giving me a soft place to lie while I dredged this story out of me.

Thank you, always, to Manning Sparrow, for ten years of companionship and unflagging love.

Thank you to Sophie Cohen and Courtney Gould, for giving me another reason to write this story.

Thank you to James Macksoud, for whom words are never enough. Everything good in my life is because of you.

And thank you, of course, to Dorit Margalit. You gave me the language to write this book, and the courage to survive it.
