Safe from the Sea (27 page)

To Kim Barzso, my confidant in the beginning. And to Laura Jean Baker, for reading and rereading and not sparing a single thought.

To my brother, Tony, for building a beautiful website.

To Dale and Sandy Hofmann, for their support and for the use of
their cabin on so many weekends. Without the quiet weekends there I might never have finished.

To Finn and Mac and Liese, my story beggars.

And to Dana, for positively everything. You inspire me in ways I’m sure I’ll never understand.
No broad breaker will fall, nor waves of blue, and we will
. . .
