Thank You.

Writing this book meant opening the backpack and showing what was inside: the failures, the hard calls, the lessons I paid for more than once. Putting that out into the world isn't easy.

So to every person who took the time to read it, and then took even more time to write down what it meant to you: thank you. You didn't have to do that. Your time is the most valuable thing you have, and you chose to spend some of it on my story.

Every review on this page came from someone generous enough to share what they found. That means more to me than I can put into words.

Your words are the gold in the cracks.
