Yet again, I have benefited from the unerring instincts of some extraordinary people in the publishing world. I am so very lucky to have Jill Bialosky as an editor and friend. Erin Lovett and Louise Brockett, Bill Rusin, Jeannie Luciano, Drake McFeely, Ingsu Liu, Steve Colca, Laura Goldin, and Maria Rogers at W. W. Norton make my job a joy and my books the best they can be. Jay Mandel’s support is the bass line that runs through my career, and Janet Byrne is the best copy editor imaginable.

  No matter how well things fall into place and how smoothly the writing goes, a book will send you to the couch in occasional fits of doubt and self-pity. Everlasting love and gratitude to my husband, Ed Rachles, the man who gets me off the couch.
