Acknowledgments

Many people gave time, space, and/or financial resources that helped me complete this novel.

Thanks to the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, and Canada Council for the Arts, for their financial support.

Thanks to the Banff Centre for the Arts, for their scholarship and amazing mountain retreat for artists.

Thanks to my agent, Rosemary Stimola, who saw something sweet and challenged me to dig deeper.

Thanks to my wonderful editors, Liz Szabla and Kate Egan, for their patience, encouragement, and refinement.

Thanks to my writing group, Caterina, June, Debby, Naomi, and Lori, who read, discussed, and helped me to believe. To Rosa, for helping me understand.

Thanks to my family. My daughter, Callie, inspired the first sentence, and encouraged me through to the last. The boys in my life: Cameron, Chris, Gavin, Andrew, Brenan, and Ben all inspired and helped me refine the male point of view. The girls in my life: Danae and Linda kept the faith, and Ashton inspired one particular character. Thanks to Shirley and Paul, who have opened their hearts wider.

Thanks to Dennis, who could not have known when he married me what a roller coaster he’d be on, and he’s still with me.

Thanks to all the taste testers, blog readers, and lovers of cake.
