  My father Harjindar Singh Chima for being my muse.

  My husband Daniel Horvath who readily accepted that I would always follow my own path, and that perhaps this might sometimes mean he would be the sole provider of our little family unit.

  Maria Sicola for the rare and invaluable gift of time.

  Diane DeCorso and Pat Mandel for their unrelenting and zealous support of this book.

  Rob Rogers and Josie Garcia for their insights, critiques, and numerous questions.
