  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  While writing is often a solitary endeavor, publishing a book is an act of community. I am deeply grateful to all who have been a part of this journey. Special thanks are due to Cory Allyn, Jeremy Lassen, Oren Eades, Paula Guran, my marvelous editor, and Mark Gottlieb, my agent. I am indebted to Sita Saxe, Melina Selverston-Scher, and Benjamin Thompson for their invaluable comments. Finally, I offer homage to the Muse for gifting me this story and letting me share it with readers.
