The Given

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This book is for my readers—my VPeeps, my friends, my Tribe. Thank you for taking time to reach out to me via my website, for chatting with me on Twitter, and for giving me a home on Facebook, where I am as teased about my cooking as I am encouraged to write. (Just like real life.) Extra thanks to Facebook friends: Justin Allen for allowing me to abuse his good name and Michelle Ritter Pearsall for suggesting the name Eric. Jann McKenzie and Joy Bannister served as beta readers for this final installment in Kit and Grif’s journey, so if there’s anything amiss in the text, I’m happy to forward along their personal e-mails as places to rant. Finally, to every reader who has opened up his or her mind to meet me on the page, I thank you.
