Acknowledgments

We’d like to express our appreciation to our acquisitions editor, Raphael Kadushin, who stood behind this book all the way. In addition, the rest of the team at the University of Wisconsin Press, in particular Matthew Cosby, made the process a pleasure at every step.

Thanks also go to the students in our writing courses taught in Albuquerque from 2010 through 2012, especially Jill Root, Carol March, and Alice Brasfield. Your courage and probing questions inspired this book.

As always, we’re grateful to our spouses Lynda and Bob for their support.
