As always, thanks to family, friends, and colleagues. I am grateful for the support of Michael Morrison, Henry Ferris, Lisa Gallagher, Sharyn Rosenblum, Peter Hubbard, and everybody else at William Morrow/HarperCollins who lends their expertise to my writing in ways I barely know about. Thanks to those who helped with the various stages of research: Emilie Benoit, Richard Lefebvre, Tara O’Neil, Mel Yoken, Roger Williams University Center for Global & International Programs, the town of Auvers-sur-Oise, and others I know I’ll be embarrassed later for neglecting. Rhea Wilson for her close and thoughtful reading, and Dr. Roy J. Nirschel for his encouragement. And of course, Alisson and Addison, without whom little would be possible.
