There are never enough opportunities to thank family and friends for all they add to my writing. Whether daily presence, late night talks, or the lure of lunch outside my office, these people allow the creative fire to stay alive. You have my love—Tom, Emily, Tim, Michelle, Pat, and Eric. For wisdom and endless love, I thank my father, Roman, and my mother-in-law, Helen. Ellen, you have a special place in my life, and I promise to put you in a future book. Thanks to my book club for expanding my horizons and the Dunker Dames for keeping my feet planted in the real world.
