Acknowledgments
This book would not have been possible without the generosity of the young people who shared their lives by participating in the research. I was humbled by this generosity and by their confidence that I would value their stories. Research does not take place in a vacuum, and a number of others provided intellectual and collegial support throughout the research and writing of this book. These include Johanna Wyn, Ani Wierenga, Shelley Mallett, Dan Woodman, Julia Coffey, Jessica Crofts, Juliet Watson, Jessica Gerrard, and Steven Threadgold. Finally, I would like to thank my partner, Deidre Ryan, for everything.
