ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Thanks to Dan Lazar, who pushed me to go bigger, to paint on a wider canvas; to Anne Messitte, for sharing my vision and finding ways to improve upon it; to Andrea Robinson, for her sharp eyes and keen insight; and to the whole team at Doubleday—I’m thrilled to be working with such an amazing bunch; and finally, to Drea and Zella, for, well, for everything—I couldn’t do any of this without you.
