Big Law
Page 28
My heartfelt thanks to Serena Palumbo for helping me keep the faith and for pointing me in the direction of my lovely literary agent. You always have my back and I’m so grateful.
Thank you to my parents for being an endless source of love and encouragement. Dad, on September 11 you walked down 103 flights of stairs and kept going. With your unwavering strength, you taught me the true meaning of pressing on. Mom, you have always been in my corner and are as fierce and loyal as they come. And I know that right at this moment you and Dad are sitting in a restaurant telling the waitress that your daughter wrote a book. Thank you for championing the cause.
Thank you to my sister, Catherine Magraken, who has been a faithful cheerleader throughout. You are the one who convinced me I should be a writer based solely on the Easter bunny story I wrote in the second grade. And to my brother, Michael Lamprecht, who will always indulge me in a good debate about hockey. Gretzky is better than Lemieux. There - last word. Another problem solved.
Very special shout out to everyone who has ever enjoyed a good Happy Hour on the deck at Reef Road. You are my people. Now pass the Fritos.
Last but not least, thank you to the loves of my life. Gord, you always manage to make me laugh in any situation, even when we’re traveling cross-country with children and that’s no small feat. Ethan and Elise, I see all that is good in this world in your smiling faces. You are everything.
