The Rich Part of Life
Sister North
Many thanks to the following people who made this book possible: my agent, Lynn Franklin, for her always steady hand and vision, as well as her confidence in me; my editor, Nichole Argyres, for her wonderful talent and skill in taking this book where it needed to go; Gordon Mennenga, for reading through those always important first drafts; Sally Richardson and Matt Baldacci, for their terrific enthusiasm and belief in the book; Jonni Hegenderfer, who graciously allows her business partner to pursue other interests; Anne, my wife, for her love, support, and patience; and my boys—Johnny, Mikey, and Andrew—for making me laugh (almost) every day.
This is a work of fiction. All of the characters, organizations, and events portrayed in this novel are either products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously.
