ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I started this book when my daughter was a toddler, and now she is taller than me. Thank you David Forrer and Kim Witherspoon, my agents at Inkwell Management, for being with me the whole way through.
Whenever I read the notes, critiques, and suggestions from Marysue Rucci, I immediately return to my manuscript with inspiration and energy. I don’t know what more I could possibly ask from an editor. Thank you so much for making me love to write and rewrite.
And thank you to the real playgroup—Jen Murdin, Sara Starr, Michelle Delen, Yeli Yoo, Lindsay Hunter, and Christina Amail, as well as many other San Francisco mothers who made parenting a lot less lonely and a lot more fun. I loved partying with you.
