Acknowledgments

Nothing could have prepared me for this moment in life, a moment when triumph is finally mine, when freedom is finally attainable, and when healing is finally possible. For this reason, I have to say, Gracias mi Dios. Tal vez un día te pueda dar el abrazo mas grande del mundo por darme este dichoso éxito.

I would like to thank my book team, Edwin, Thomas, Samantha, Leda, Danielle, and the whole Abrams team. Thank you for your patience with me and for making this book what I envisioned. You were right, it turned out perfect.
