Acknowledgments

There are so many people involved in the success of a book, and I’m truly thankful to everyone who plays a part in this journey. From acquiring, editing, designing, promoting, reading, and reviewing—I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to all those who give their time and energy to sharing this story.

To the wonderful women at Omnific whose vision make this possible—thank you! To Jennifer Haren and her endless positivity—thank you! To Milli Davis, my first Going the Distance cheerleader—thank you!

And to the staff and students at the Changzhou kindergarten I was so lucky to work at for a year and a half—xie xie. Thank you for reminding me every day that I have so much more to learn than I could ever teach. You inspire me still.

About the Author

Julianna Keyes is a Canadian writer who has lived on both coasts and several places in between. She’s been skydiving, bungee jumping and white water rafting, but nothing thrills—or terrifies—her as much as the blank page. She loves Chinese food, foreign languages, baseball and television, though not necessarily in that order. She writes sizzling stories with strong characters, plenty of conflict, and lots of making up. This is her second novel.
