I want to express sincere gratitude to the staff at Central Recovery Press for believing in me and my writing; in no specific order, their fabulousness is made up of Nancy Schenck, Patrick Hughes, Valerie Killeen, Bob Gray, Helen O’Reilly, and Dan Mager. To Thomas Woll and Kae Tienstra for working so hard to promote my work.

Thank you for believing in my work and making it better. Thank you to my agent, Devra Ann Jacobs, and my manager, Phyllis Parsons—two amazing and tireless women.

As always, to my amazing, supportive, and loving family, James and Pat Storm, James Storm, Jr., Brian Storm, and my two awesome nieces, Cheyanne Storm and Amelia Storm.

Fianne Van Schaaik, for your unconditional love, your honest critique of my writing, and your unwavering support. You have believed in me at times when I haven’t believed in myself. You are forever my cheerleader; thank you so much for that.

My staff of amazing advocates who in many ways have inspired so much of what you see on the pages of this book. The dedication and hard work you bring to the job every day are beyond admirable. You are my family and I love you all.

Last, but never least, to each and every person out there who has been victimized in some way, you are never alone. There is a way to heal, and your life can be amazing again—I promise.
