ACKOWLEDGEMENTS

I want to acknowledge and thank
everyone who gave me their support and encouragement:

TD and Timmy for accepting my dream
and being a continual part of it. I love you both.

Sheila Garry Avery for reading
every word and every revision. You are truly a “woman of strength.”

Amy Goodman, who has the tremendous
responsibility of bringing truth and reason to a crazy world, yet found the
time to read and critique my manuscript.

Curt Nowell for generously turning
my manuscript into a book.

Kristoffer Pearson for his patience
and persistence while creating the cover.

To everyone else who read the book,
shared their reactions and encouraged me to publish it: Derbigny, Meg, Annie,
Midge, Mary, Kim, Betty, Dina, Denise, Candace, Heide, Lisa, Linda, David,
Vanessa, and the wonderful book clubs, I am forever grateful.
