Acknowledgments
Many thanks and much love to:
My North Carolina writing group, for nurturing this project—and so many others—from the beginning.
My Pennsylvania critique group, for seeing it through to the end . . . and most of all, for believing in it.
My extraordinary agent, Jenny Bent, and editor, Carrie Feron, for making me refine and deepen it.
