Island of the Sun (25 page)
I
want to thank the many people who have helped me see Eleanor through the next chapter of her adventure. First, Donna Bray, for introducing me to Eleanor in the first place. Jordan Brown has continued to provide invaluable insight and guidance, as well as friendship. My agent, Stephen Fraser, has offered unceasing encouragement and support, not to mention reliable movie recommendations. The love of my family and friends remains one of the greatest gifts in my life, for which I am endlessly grateful. And finally, I would like to thank Jaime, for whom words fail me in expressing my love and appreciation.
