  Our editors, Mike Shohl, Carolyn Caughey, Pat LoBrutto, and Anne Lesley
  Groell, offered detailed and invaluable suggestions through many drafts to
  fine-tune this story into its final version.
  
  As always, Catherine Sidor at WordFire, Inc., worked tirelessly to transcribe
  dozens of microcassettes and type many hundreds of pages to keep up with our
  manic work pace. Her assistance in all steps of this project has helped to
  keep us sane, and she even fooled other people into thinking we’re organized.
  
  Diane E. Jones served as test reader and guinea pig, giving us her honest
  reactions and suggesting additional scenes that helped make this a stronger
  book.
  
  Robert Gottlieb and Matt Bialer of the Trident Media Group and Mary Alice Kier
  and Anna Cottle of Cine/Lit Representation never wavered in their faith and
  dedication, seeing the potential of the entire project.
