Acknowledgements
This book wouldn’t have come to life without Liz Attenborough’s encouragement and belief in me: thank you for everything.
Many thanks to Tony Lacey and Zelda Turner for giving me a first opportunity to share my words and for seeing something important in them.
Nothing would be possible without my amazing family and friends who love and support me always and no matter what; this is for you all.
And finally to Max. Thank you for helping me to give this story a happy ending.
