First and foremost, I would like to thank my God, Allah, for always being there for me when I needed Him, and for making my dreams a reality. I would also like to thank my parents next, for being the best advisors any teen could ever ask for. And of course, special thanks to my younger sister Lana, because I know that she’ll pulverize me if I don’t add her to the acknowledgment page (Just kidding!) I would really like to thank her for being the first person to ever read this book and also the first person to encourage me to publish it. My sincere thanks also goes to my two best friends, Noor Alyassin and Yasmine Almomani, for supporting me through the writing process and always keeping my spirits high.
Shout-out to my editor Beirut Abu-Hdaib. Many thanks also goes to the Aventine Press team, in specific, Ryan Ratliff and Keith Pearson, for making my dreams of becoming an author a possibility.
