My thanks to James Martin, SJ, for his support and encouragement throughout this project; to Dr. Eileen Burke-Sullivan, who suggested the article that eventually grew into this book; to the team at Loyola Press: Joseph Durepos, Vinita Wright, Becca Russo, and Yvonne Micheletti; to Rebecca Pearson for a photograph that is “really me”; and, above all, to the people who shared their stories with me.
