Speaking of Mexico, kudos to Frank and Marta Kroger, for also getting married twenty-five years ago so you could go on the “research trip” with us, and you know, being willing to taste all that tequila.
Cecy Robson for consulting on Latino culture. Even though the original concept changed enormously from when we first spoke about it, I suspect Lesa might look a little like you.
Patrick Clouse, aging warehouse manager for Buffalo Trace Distilling, for answering all of my questions. The fact that I ignored many of the answers to make the plot work is my own doing.
Jessica Lemmon, Kathryn Miller, Angela Dennis, Stacy McKitrick, and Rachel Klink for reading and brainstorming.
Very grateful for Kim B and my Monday night home-peeps for keeping me sane (ish).
And as always, thanks to my favorite family. I love you!
