Acknowledgments
What a glorious piece of synchronicity. My beautiful
friend Kerry Nowensky, who commanded, "Write it down!
Now!" My guardian angel Dorothea Helms, who said, "It's
time to get yourself a great agent." My amazing agent
Sheree Bykofsky, who bombarded me with support and
commitment. The charismatic book publisher Peter
Workman, who brings all his sense to bear on a book and
surrounds himself with the finest talent to be found. And
just when you thought you've seen and heard it all, along
comes the astonishing Sally Kovalchick, who blows you
away with her ability to inhale a manuscript and exhale a
finished book.
I offer you all my heartfelt thanks. You are living
proof that other people are our greatest resource.
