It Happens in the Hamptons
Page 33
To my four parents, Sally and Michael and Pete and Joan, for their bottomless support and encouragement of my professional endeavors and my mothering.
And, most of all, to my three teenagers, Chloe, Jack, and Eliza (although the feeling I’m going to bet is not always mutual), let me tell you this: the greatest opportunity, joy, and thrill in my life is being your mom.
