Acknowledgments
With gratitude, I would like to thank the following:
My talented editor, Jennifer Pooley. Also at Morrow: Lisa Gallagher, Kevin Callahan, and Ben Bruton. I truly appreciate everything you do in publishing my work.
My agent and friend, Nick Ellison, and his terrific colleagues, Sarah Dickman and Marissa Matteo.
My early readers: Maura Greene, Daniel Greene, David Greene, Susan McCarthy, Jennifer O’Connor, Margaret Gendron, Judith Austin, Alex Lehmann, and Big Al Donovan.
Dr. Susan O’Doherty, who provided professional advice about psychology and the mental health system.
My parents, for their remarkable support. And my wife, Tia, my first editor, my best friend, the reader whose opinions matter to me above all others’.
And finally, to my daughter, Sarah, to whom this book is dedicated. At six months old she cannot yet read my words. But her smile when she sees me would not only make the moon envious, it makes me want to write down every story I know, so that when she is old enough to read them, they will always be there.
