ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

 

 

 

Writing is a solitary thing, and yet I’ve never written a book entirely by myself.

 

My grandson Will Merola researched nineteenth-century baseball for me. A peek behind the curtain into the world of theater was furnished by my friend and playwright Y York. My friend Patty Beaumont told me how one catches a chipmunk on the loose.

 

If you like this book, you should note the name Michelle Frey, my editor—and her assistant, Kelly Delaney—and add your thanks to mine.

 

And my sweet husband, Jerry, has once again done his duty as First Reader.
