zlib_text: ## ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
  
  
  This book started with a germ of an idea while I was out on my daily dog walk,
  and grew from there. So I must acknowledge my two good-natured terriers,
  Cookie and Tipsy, who walk me every day and keep me sane.
  
  
  Many thanks to my good friends Joy Ferguson and Her Honour Judge Katharine
  Marshall for their invaluable advice; to Lee Knight and Sharon Bloom, my
  readers, and the latter also for introducing me to Marjacq and my agent,
  Philip Patterson. Many thanks to Philip for finding Legend Press, and to both
  for having faith in me.
  
  
  I’m grateful to Fiona Turner from the Restorative Justice Council, to Kostas
  Panagiotou from Victim Support and to Maxine Chung for their time and their
  openness.
  
  
  Heartfelt thanks to the wonderful Faber Academy and my tutors Louise Doughty,
  Erica Wagner and Shelley Weiner, as well as my writer colleagues on the six-
  month course, who have been so supportive.
  
  
  Also thank you to Marlow Book Club, Tugboats, Scribblers, the marvellous VGs
