A sob lurches from her throat. She hugs me tight, so tight my broken ribs ache in protest.
But I don’t pull away.
SPECIAL THANKS TO …
Bruce and Courtney, for encouraging me to do what I love.
Maryann Ballantyne, my amazing publisher and editor, for her faith, encouragement, vision and immeasurable skill. And best of all, friendship.
The Crannies – Karen, Corinne and Bernadette –for laughter, coffee, chocolate (and Liquorice Allsorts), support and encouragement not only in writing but in life.
Doobs and Liz, for friendship, laughs and technical support. Which led me to the incredibly generous Angela Bruschi and Duncan Erwin from Ambulance Victoria. Ambos! What amazing people.
How lucky am I?
