Golden Country

by Jennifer Gilmore

  Acknowledgments

  There are too many people I am indebted to for helping me make this book. To name just a few:

  Thank you to my husband, Pedro Barbeito, my soul mate in life and in work.

  To my parents, Richard and Judith Gilmore, for never doubting, not in all these years, and to my sister and fellow traveler, Kate Gilmore.

  To the late Adeline Seamon Barowsky, who unknowingly started me on my way.

  To Stephanie Vaughn, Alison Lurie, Dan McCall, Lamar Herrin, Nina Revoyr, Jackie Dowdell, Drew Bennett, Cornell University, Adam Langer, Elissa Schappell, Kyle Smith, Emily Chenoweth, Daniel Slager, Patricia Barbeito, and Harcourt, for everyone’s support. To John Fulbrook, Katie Monaghan, Susan Brown, and all the good people at Scribner.

  And to the amazing Harriet Wasserman, my agent, and Alexis Gargagliano, my extraordinary editor. I am still astounded and so incredibly grateful that they believed.

  Jennifer Gilmore’s work has appeared in magazines, journals, and anthologies including Alaska Quarterly Review, Allure, BookForum, CutBank, Nerve, Salon, and The Stranger. She works in publishing and lives in Brooklyn, New York.

  We hope you enjoyed reading this Scribner eBook.
