ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
TO RYAN O’NEAL, MY ETERNAL GRATITUDE TO YOU FOR encouraging me, supporting me, and cheering me on during a most difficult and painful time for both of us. I feel that we are truly family now. I will always be on your team.
To Sheryl Berk, with my deepest gratitude for your tireless dedication, late nights, and your good-natured attitude—even in the most harried of deadlines. When I say I couldn’t have done this book without you, I really mean it.
To the best literary agent in the world, Frank Weimann, my deepest appreciation to you for believing in me so wholeheartedly and being available any time of the night or day for my endless phone calls.
To Marianne Williamson, who has been my loving friend and spiritual mentor, and has always assured me and encouraged me that I could—and should—do this.
To the publishing team at HarperCollins: Lisa Sharkey, Matt Harper, Amy Kaplan, thank you for your faith in this book and me, and for convincing me that I could meet deadlines that were almost inhumanly possible.
To Dr. Ursula Jacob, Dr. Lawrence Piro, Dr. Thomas Vogl, and Dr. Claus Kiehling: thank you for your dedication and compassion. And most of all, for how much you cared for Farrah.
To Paul Bloch and Arnold Robinson, thank you for your wonderful advice and support.
To Christine Romeo, for your assistance throughout this process.
To all my friends and family, whom I haven’t always been available to for these last three years. Thank you for understanding. I love you all.
And last but not least, to George Hamilton, for having always encouraged me to write.
