I would like to thank Elizabeth Samenfeld-Specht for her cookie and brownie recipes; Dr. Robert DeMartino for his medical advice; my agent, Faith Hamlin, for her years of support; and my editor, Zachary Schisgal, for his regard for language—and plot.
Our home was burglarized in 1995, cleaned out in much the same way as Faith’s. Friends and family provided loving gestures—none more than my husband, Alan, and son, Nicholas.
