I must tip my hat to two more people for their tireless editing work. Aman Anand intervened midway through my finalization process and smoothed out some of my rough patches. Valerie Cooper helped me perfect the finished product. Without them, this book would be a hodgepodge of misplaced apostrophes and typos.
Finally, thank you to all of those who read my book. A writer is nothing without her readers.
Thanks, everyone!
