Acknowledgments

Many thanks to Jenny and Anni, whose thoughts on this book were invaluable.

Thank you to Wyoming, which made me fall in love with it, and the chipmunks, moose, dogs, fish, and other beasties that graced me with their presence.

Thanks to my agent, Courtney Miller-Callihan, who makes magic behind the scenes, and to my editor, Kerri Buckley, for shepherding this project so generously.

Thank you to my sister, as ever, for listening to me ramble as we amble.

To all the animals I’ve loved over the years, even the ones I tried to hug in Iceland that ran away from me. And my tenderest thanks of all to Dorian Gray, my little furry heart.
