Antoinette helped grow my understanding of how to write well for a diversity of characters. She also deeply understood and helped refine the whole story. I’m so thankful for her wisdom and encouragement!

Rosalie Lander—Line/Copy Editor

Rosalie stepped in with vigor and attentiveness to detail and meaning, and she copy edited the book in just three weeks!

Juliana Jordan—First-Draft Consultant

Juliana read the entire story aloud with me and offered feedback on every chapter, character and title. She saw and deepened the truth of the story.

Nathaniel Soria—Cover Designer

Nathaniel, also my husband, helped finesse Courtney’s illustration to its final version, and he created the title text. He is a wizard of connecting beauty and honesty in art!

Many others contributed. Some read early drafts of the book and offered feedback. Others provided space for me to work. I am so thankful for every person who has invested in me and this project. We brought this vision to life together!
