Many thanks to the experts who patiently answered my questions, including Dr. Barbara Deli, Dr. Gerald Feigin, Karen Lundegaard, Dr. Ora Pearlstein, Maureen Rush and Kelly Smith. I am also indebted to the work of Pam Belluck and Dr. Carl P. Malmquist.
My endless gratitude to my fantastic friends and family, a.k.a. the country’s most ferocious grassroots marketing team: John McCreight and Kim Healey, Diane and Stanley Dohm, Rebecca Prentice and Mike Blom, Stephen Prentice, Catherine and David Bohigian, Alanna Cavaricci, Sidney Cavaricci, the Cragan family, the Crane family, Larry and Suzy Daniels, Bob Daniels and Craig Leslie, Kate Eschelbach, David Fischer, Tania Garcia, Jessica and Jason Garmise, Sonya Glazer, Yuko Ikeda, David Kear, Merrie Koehlert, Hallie Levin, Brian and Laura Mayer, Brian McCreight, the Metzger family, Jason Miller, Sarah Moore, Frank Pometti, Jon Reinish, Maria Renz and Tom Barr, Julie Schwetlick, Maxine Solvay, Bronwen Stine, the Thomatos family, Meg Yonts, Denise Young Farrell, and Christine Yu. Beware: if you get too near any of them, they will make you buy another book.
A special thanks to Joe and Naomi Daniels for the help and the many years of friendship.
Thank you, Megan Crane, for promising me it would be worth it. To Victoria Cook, for simultaneously being the world’s best spin doctor and one of the most honest people I know. Thank you to Elena Evangelo for lending your creative genius. And to my ladies: Cindy Buzzeo, Cara Cragan, Heather Frattone, Nicole Kear, Tara Pometti, and Motoko Rich. My life would be so much less without you in it.
To Martin and Clare Prentice, words can’t express how grateful I am to, and for, the both of you.
To my husband, Tony: you are all things, always.
And to my daughters, Harper and Emerson, my heart and my soul. You are, and will always be, the most important story.
