A Shining Affliction
Page 28
I want to thank Carol Gilligan for sending me to my agent, Katinka Matson, and thank Katinka for finding Nan Graham and Courtney Hodell for me. Courtney Hodell, who became my editor, gave me excellent line edits, raised challenging questions, and cautioned me not to change this book too much. She has been a strong ally of the book throughout the publishing process.
Finally, I want to acknowledge Ide B. O’Carroll, gra mo chroi, for her sustaining love.
