This book was a true collaboration, and I am so grateful to my coauthors

Elizabeth and Veronica for their expertise, wisdom, and commitment. I

would like to thank Wayne Law students Megan O’Neil and Angela Bajr‑

amaj for their exceptional research assistance in the preparation of this

book. I am grateful for the guidance provided by my colleague Peter Hen‑

ning in putting together this book, and thankful to Ruby Robinson at the

Michigan Immigrant Rights Center for his insightful feedback. Finally, I

could not have done this work without the support, patience, and love of

my husband, Paul, and son, Alex.

First and foremost, thank you to my coauthors, Rachel and Veronica. It

was a true joy to work with you, and I learned so much from both of you.

I am very grateful to my colleagues, Bridgette Carr and Suellyn Scarnec‑

chia. Bridgette, I can’t thank you enough for the opportunities, the guidance,

and your trust. Suellyn, thank you for your insight and support. I am very

appreciative of the clients and students I work with daily—you all inspire

me. Finally, special thanks to Sarah, Mom, and my dear husband, Ryan. I

would not be any good at the things I do without each of you, and I am so

lucky to have you by my side.
