  For my parents, Kelly and Larry, you are both my compass and my anchor. For
  Dustin, who will forever be Cullen to me, and for Travis and Vivian, my
  beloved children and greatest adventure. Thank you for helping me write
  Alana’s story—it was nice to see life through the eyes of a child once again.
