  A book has many friends; I’m even fortunate enough to call a few of them my friends too. They include: Molly Lindley Pisani, Bethany Strout, Matthew Allard, Julia Claiborne Johnson, Michael Peters, Ryan Quinn, Trent Vernon, Barry Babok, Laura Rowley, Samuel Rowley, Susan Wiernusz, and Evie, Emmett, Harper, Eli, and Graham.

  Thank you to my parents, Norman Rowley and Barbara Sonia, for their lifelong love, enthusiasm, acceptance of and belief in me.

  Writing is a solitary endeavor; it helps to have a loyal dog for company. Thank you, Tilda, for your companionship and for dragging me out of my chair every few hours. And to Lily, who continues to make all things possible.

  Finally, my undying gratitude to Byron Lane. My first reader and my last, my love, my everything.
