Again, to my partner in friendship and writing lo these many years, Kristin Hannah, who keeps me from jumping off bridges and driving into traffic (metaphorically), I cannot express the depths of my love and gratitude; you know how I feel. To Suzanne Selfors, thank you for walks and tea and toast and hanging out and honesty and compassion. To Jena MacPherson, Melinda McRae, Liz Osborne, and Sharon Thomas, for being my sounding board for far too long, thank you, thank you.
I’ve been privileged to walk this path with many other talented authors who have become dear friends and who have generously provided advice, commiseration, celebration, and support through many brunches, lunches, teas, cocktails, dinners, and retreats over the years. There are too many to list, but you know who you are. I could not have asked for better companions on this journey. Thank you.
To my huge and beautiful family—my anchor in every storm—I love you.
Finally, to my husband, Kany, and my wise, beautiful, and courageous daughters, Maggie and Cleo: the center holds because of you.
