And finally, last but certainly not least, to my sister, Margaret Lowry, who is there for me through every up and down, literary and otherwise. I couldn’t have made it this far without you, dear sister!
And one final little author’s note: I first started walking to the original Whole Foods store on Lamar Boulevard for ice cream with my mom and sister when I was four years old. I literally grew up at Whole Foods, which was always my “Cheers”—the place I’d go to run into friends and receive all sorts of sustenance. Whole Foods always felt like home to me. However, in this novel, any references to the store, its employees, and their practices are used fictitiously. All Whole Foods employees in the book are works of fiction. All characters are products of my imagination, and any resemblance to actual events or places or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

Mary Pauline Lowry is a proud native of Austin, Texas.
