I agree, Huston, on being honored. I was very surprised that my book made it to the finals with so many fine authors. Thanks to all the judges and anyone who voted for my book and considered it worthy. It is ironic that several of the teen characters in the book struggle with the idea that they aren't worthy of love, but some of you out there obviously thought they were. Good luck to all the finalists!.
