I am most grateful to Rachel Smith for the inspired design she has brought to this book. And I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Pamela Marshall for the meticulous way every fact and quotation was checked and authenticated. Thanks also to Miriam Newman, Jennifer McFadden, Linda Rizkalla, Rebecca Demont, and Emily Quinan for their much appreciated contributions. Finally, once again — thank you, Hilary Van Dusen, a true daughter of the sea, for recognizing the magic in this story, for sharing so fully in my bringing it to life, and for once again keeping me on the straight and narrow — never an easy task.
