She Walks in Beauty_ A Woman's Journey Through Poems - Caroline Kennedy [58]
This book would not have come into being without the many other people at Hyperion who worked to make it so beautiful—Shubhani Sarkar for the glorious design, David Lott and Claire McKean, who make production miracles happen on a consistent basis, Laura Klynstra for the cover design, Deirdre Smerillo for tracking down runaway poems, and Elizabeth Sabo Morick for help in countless ways. Marie Coolman and Sally McCartin have made a huge difference, and I am grateful for their commitment.
Most of all, I would like to thank my friends and family, who make me happy to get up every morning knowing I might talk to them that day.
