And who magnanimously forgive their domestically-challenged wife and mother. Often. Acknowledgements Thank you, God, for Your monthly three fish and five loaves of bread. To Debra Glass and Jessica Lee. I just need to create templates for both of you! There hasn’t been a book yet where either of you haven’t contributed your time and patience. Your friendships mean the world to me. To Daddy and Nina for accepting or vetoing the quotes! Daddy was a little—okay, a lot!—gentler than you, Nina! To Violet. You make me smile and laugh even as you press me to be a better writer with every book. Your gift with words enhances mine and brings out the very best in me. I’m truly amazed at the end of every project! Thank you for cheering, encouraging and challenging me. Love ya! Author Note The “Beauty and the Beast” quotes found at the beginning of each chapter are from eighteenth-century French novelist Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont, as well as eighteenth-century fairy tale collectors, the Brothers Grimm.
