by Ishmael Beah
Thank you to every other member of our family, near and far. Laura Simms, Fran Silverberg, Ira Silverberg . . . you are all with me, no matter where I am in this journey of life and writing.
I am lucky and honored to join the brilliant Riverhead family. It was a love-at-first-sight sort of thing! Thank you to my amazing editor, Rebecca Saletan, for your insights, patience, and hard work and for always staying faithful to the characters, the world, and the integrity of this novel. Looking forward to working on the next book and books with you.
My gratitude to my literary agent, Philippa Brophy at Sterling Lord Literistic, for believing in the universe I want to create in my books. And thank you to Nell Pierce at Sterling Lord Literistic as well, for your responsiveness and patience.
