from Jane_E, Friendless Orphan: A Memoir, 2006
Special thanks to: Mrs. Wendy and Dr. Preeti Dalawari, Pedro Jose Horacio Cabrera, heather [sic] Moffatt, Brian McCole, Scott L. Cupp, Dr. Kisung Ko, Jessica and Carl Slivak, Dean and Tracey Virginia Berg McMillin, Rebecca Perrenod Lanctot, Barbara J. Schulman, Johanna Forte, Mick Armitage, J. E. Caughey, Cindy Genato, XPFC; The Latest Draft Writers(') Group, whose patience and feedback led me to the gifts I needed, including but not limited to: a brain (Melissa Firman, Paula Finestone, Nika Paul), a heart (Crystal Kay, P. G. Robinson), the nerve (Bernard Thompson, Anthony Volpe, Greg Nzeribe). Major thanks to Alicia White and family for entertaining my kids while I completed revisions.
Thanks also to Deborah Sweeney: to call her input invaluable would be inadequate. At least one kudo, probably more, are owed to Karen E. Taylor, whose talk helped give shape to the shapeless woman behind the door.
All inaccuracies—technical, cultural and otherwise—contained herein may be credited to my blundering alone and not due to any lack of information from these generous people.
I must also thank my children for watching more TV than I would have liked while I wrote. Finally, thanks be to Scott for proving to me every day that, with the right balance of faith and hope, love never fails. Oh, and for insisting that I keep the dog.
