  Thank you to the University of Wisconsin Archives staff for allowing me countless hours to research the history of campus, page through ancient yearbooks, and lose myself in sixty-year-old copies of the Daily Cardinal.

  Special thanks go out to the people who answered crazy research questions, provided critiques on early versions of the book, or offered moral support when I’d hit the wall: Mary Kay Adams-Edgette, Deb Barkelar, Judy Bryan, Nichole Chase, Lynda Colton, Jolene Esterline, Mary Finnel, Alice Haley, Kris Hebl, Joanna Hinsey, Glenn Mullett, Elizabeth Reinhardt, Linda Schmalz, Claire Swinarski, Donna Van Keuren, Adam Weimerskirch, Kristi Weimerskirch, and my Wednesday night Barriques YA writers’ group. My apologies to the countless others who I’ve neglected to recall after the two-year journey of writing this book.

  To my agent, Jane Dystel, for your steadfast support of Waking in Time. Working with you is always a pleasure. And to Miriam Goderich for your insightful suggestions and kindness. You ladies make a fabulous team.

  To Kristen Mohn for falling in love with Waking in Time. Working with you has been a dream. And to the Capstone Publishing and Switch Press family, thank you for taking care of my baby.

  Finally, to my family, who is everything to me. I will love you until the end of time.
