Lucky Girl by Jamie Pacton (novels for beginners txt) 📕

thank you to Greg and Kathy Pacton for the second trip there.

Thank you to my delightful children, Liam and Eliot. It is my great joy and honor to be your mother, and every day I learn something new from both of you. (Especially in the realms of Pokémon, Sonic, cats, all things dragon related, and drawing lessons.)

And thank you most especially to Adam, my wonderful partner, greatest love, and best friend. Thank you for all the long days of hanging out with the kids while I write. Thank you for always choosing us, for seeing me entirely, and for all the support for this author dream. You are magnificent; I adore you entirely. Let’s get back to Maui soon, yes?
