ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

There are many people involved in the making of any book, and this one is no exception. It was written with the help of Clara Park and Cindy Yeh, and I thank them for their contributions.

Once the manuscript was finished, two special people got involved to make it into a book. Ann Bramson, the publisher and editor in chief of Artisan, and I have worked together for as many years as my children have been adults. Her vision and passion ensure the result is a beautiful book. A new associate is Trent Duffy, the executive managing editor; he is thorough, strong, and kind—a rare combination. I thank them both.
