Dedication

I always have to give a shout-out to Bob. His patience, love and

partnership are a big part of what make my life worth living. I love you

more every day.

But this book is dedicated to my sister Mandy. It’s a great feeling

knowing that as I march through life someone has my back. Even if that

someone might give me a hard pinch when I’m not looking. Don’t get

too comfortable. My revenge will happen when you least expect it and be

twice as bad. Someday we’ll be black-and-blue old ladies together. Isn’t

sisterhood wonderful? I love you.

Acknowledgments

This story is a little grittier than my usual tale. But despite my best

efforts to indulgently wallow in drama, I continue to discover that I’m

not a very dark person at all. So when I felt lost among my own words, I

turned to my friends for encouragement and advice. They never let me

down. Susan and Steph, your support helped make this book happen. As

always, thank you.

My editor, Katherine Forrest, worked hard to make this a better story.

Her efforts show in the inal product. On a personal note, and as one

who has been much edited, I can happily say that her laid-back style was

a breath of fresh air. Thanks a bunch.
