This book is dedicated to my uncle, Rick Waits. Thank you for always being there for me.

Acknowledgements

Thanks so much to my husband, Ted, who is my favorite research partner, and who suffered through multiple trips to Las Vegas to help me get the atmosphere just right. (It's so hard being married to a writer!) I'm grateful to Wendy Lawton, agent extraordinaire. And thanks a HUGE amount to my editor, Tina James, who helped me brainstorm for the Falsely Accused Support Team. And of course I wouldn't be doing any of this without the grace and mercy of my Lord.
