Open House(72)

Thank you to all my extended family, especially Carole and Ray Sweeney, and Tait, Christine, Walker, and Josey Hawes. Thank you to my parents, Jack and Mary Sise, for raising me in a home with love and books and for supporting me all the way. Thank you to my sister and best friend in the world, Meghan, who made it easy to write about two sisters who would do anything for each other. Thank you to my brother-in-law, Roby; my niece, Rose; and my nephew, Owen, whom I love so much. Thank you to my brother, Jack, for a lifetime of support and friendship, and to Ali, Jack, and Darcy for being such wonderful people to call family. Thank you so very much to Lorena, whom I love like family, and who makes our whole house peaceful and full of love and a whole lot of laughs. Thank you to my husband, Brian, for all his love and support, and for talking about characters and plot points with me, especially on long drives. I couldn’t do this without you. My children, Luke, William, Isabel, and Eloise, are the absolute loves of my life, and I am so grateful to them for loving me each and every day.
