ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The whole gang ā€“ Patrick Riley, Missy Lyda, Eric Frisch, Mary Anne Bigane and Joe Bigane ā€“ slogged through the early drafts of this one, criticizing, counseling, supporting. As always, Iā€™m grateful.

Thanks, too, to the ever-patient Sara Porter of Severn House for managing this book, and me, with grace and aplomb.

First, and last, thank you, Susan. Again. For it all.
