To the most Fearless Fish I know
I dedicate this book to my daughter
ROXY
and my husband,
STEVEN ROFFER,
who keeps it real each and every day.
And to my father
ROBERT J. EDELMAN
who fearlessly raised two girls on his own.
I give my love and appreciation
to my best friend and sister,
WENDY HARDMAN
I am blessed with a fantastic agent and cheerleader,
MEL BERGER
and a soulful and gifted collaborator,
DAVID CHRISTAL.
For supporting my spiritual quest
and showing me the meaning of true friendship,
SEDENA and GEORGE CAPPANNELLI
DEBORAH and MATTHEW MITCHELL.
I’d also like to give my heartfelt thanks
to my friends and business associates
who bravely showed me the way
SUSAN O’MEARA,
HAROLD “H” LEWIS,
GRACIELA MEIBAR,
JAY CORSON,
TESSA GOLDSTON,
and the woman who put me on the path
KIM YOUNGBLOOD.
