Without her inspiring leadership, it is doubtful that this special issue would have come about. We would also like to thank Loreen Olson and the editorial board of JFC for extending the invitation to us to edit this special issue and the scholars who so gracefully served as reviewers for this special issue: Tamara Afifi, Jennifer Bevan, Kristen Carr, John Caughlin, Colleen Colaner, Kristen Cvancara, Colin Hesse, Susanne Jones, Jody Koenig Kellas, Andrew Ledbetter, Sandra Metts, Alan Mikkelsen, Michelle Miller-Day, Scott Myers, Christine Rittenour, Allison Scott, Chris Segrin, Alan Sillars, Jordan Soliz, and April Trees. Finally, we would like to thank all who have submitted manuscripts for this special issue. Your creativity and scholarship are an inspiration to us.
