ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I’m indebted to Laura
Bradford, my agent. She is a person of great wit, verve, and
discernment. I feel so lucky to have met, worked, book shopped, and
eaten omelets with her. Her great spirit humbles me.
This book wouldn’t
exist without Anne Sowards. Her expertise makes her a pleasure to
work with, and her insights never fail to improve my books. I’d
also like to thank the talented staff at Ace for their hard
work.
Finally, thanks to my
friends, who respond to my ramblings as if I make sense. Much love
to Lauren Dane, Carrie Lofty, and Angie Fox, who put up with me
daily.
