Writing is a solitary endeavor, but making a book takes collaborators, and I’m grateful for mine. Many thanks to Caryn Wiseman for loving Danielle and Humphrey and launching them into the publishing world; Stacy Cantor Abrams for receiving this story so warmly; and Mary Kate Castellani for fearless yet sensitive editing. Pam Bachorz, Adam Meyer, Deborah Schaumberg, and Jon Skovron gave me writerly encouragement in the important early stages, for which I thank them. Finally, loving thanks to Rick Hoffman and Ben Hoffman for reading many drafts of this book—but, if they are to be believed, and I choose to believe them, never too many for them.
