Special thanks to my wonderful agent, Susan Cohen at Writers House, and to others at Writers House, past and present, who were so generous with their help and suggestions: Trisha de Guzman, Brianne Johnson, Kelly Riley, and Kevin Webb.
Thanks to Jacob Hiss for a terrific book trailer, to Annie Farkas for lessons in stage makeup, to Dr. Ann Wayne Lucas and the staff at the Washington Square Animal Hospital, and to Dr. Gail Monaco for talking to me about grief in childhood.
Thanks to friends who heard me out: Marisha Chamberlain, Liz Rosenberg, Amy Tonsits, and Edra Ziesk.
Thanks to Tony Hiss, without whom . . . and for the best writing advice ever: “There’s always a way.”
