Acknowledgments

To my parents, Barbara and Peter, who gave me the tools.

To my friends, who are also family—especially to Laura, Richard, and Pepe—who help me through the hard times and make the good times better.

To the team at Zest Books, who believed and listened.

I hope this book is a reflection of the powerful analysis and insistent hope that you’ve all given me throughout its process.
