To my husband and hero, Sid.
I didn’t have a lucky penny in my pocket when I
met you, but it was still the luckiest moment of my
entire life. Thank you for all the years of happiness,
support, and love.
I would like to thank my editor, Ellen Edwards, who has been behind the scenes throughout most of my career. You’ve always been open to new ideas and have a wonderful talent for making a book the best that it can be without changing my writer’s voice. Together, we’ve become a great team. I would also like to thank everyone at New American Library for the unflagging enthusiasm and support, and I absolutely must express my gratitude to my agent, Steven Axelrod, for his professional advice over the years and his great sense of humor when I need a good laugh.
