Acknowledgments

From conception to delivery—thank you Andrea Cirillo, Annelise Robey, Jane Rotrosen, and, as always, my superlative editor, Jennifer Enderlin. I could never have done this without your guidance, patience, persistence, and razor-sharp insights. This excellent collaboration is what makes a good book potentially a great one.

Thanks, too, for the wonderful support of the entire St. Martin’s team: Monica Katz, Joan Higgins, and Paul Hochman, who keep me comfortable with the twenty-first-century way of book promotion; Stephen Lee, John Murphy, Matthew Shear, Kerry Nordling, Anne Marie Tallberg, Carol Edwards, and Ervin Serrano.

For insights into the world of cross-country trucking, I am grateful to Charlie Tucy.

Finally, I couldn’t do this without the love and support of my husband, David. Nor would I want to.
