First, thank you as always to my incredible agent, Johanna Castillo. She makes me a better writer every day and I’m so grateful.

Thank you to my incredible team at Atria: my editor, Kaitlin Olson, Falon Kirby in publicity, and Raaga Rajagopala in marketing. A huge thanks to Fiona Henderson and Anthea Bariamis, and everyone at Simon & Schuster Australia. I’m a lucky writer!

Thank you to my children, Alex, Andrew, Heather, Madeleine and Thomas. And to my daughter-in-law, Sarah, and especially to my granddaughter, Lily. These stories are for you.
