Love and thanks to the HTGs and the Foos, who inspire, celebrate, console, and encourage. I can’t imagine a writing life without each and every one of you. Thanks in particular to Dian Curtis Regan for the crucial feedback she gave in her eleventh-hour role as “innocent” reader, and to my brilliant editor, Kathy Dawson, who throughout the many tricky revisions, never lost sight of the soul of the story. Thank you!
