Yes, you took my words and concepts and lovingly scrutinized them from every vantage point. Yes, you helped me elevate the book to match my vision. Yes, you did all of that extraordinarily well. And what you did that made it all successful was you GOT ME. This is our recipe for success and sisterhood. You are an angel whose wings carried me through. “
