Shining Through (60 page)
My assistant, AnneMarie Palmer, deserves commendation not only for her loyalty and good humor but also for the formidable amount of work she did. Tim Guzley was a great help with research and translations.
Owen Laster more than lived up to his celebrated reputation.
He is a talented agent, and a wise, congenial and kind man as well.
Larry Ashmead, my editor, offered me reassurance, guidance, sound criticism and a lot of great jokes. As usual, he was wonderful.
In addition to their warmth and support, my children, An-drew and Betsy Abramowitz, gave me valuable editorial comments. They also, on occasion, pulled me away from my word proces-sor. I thank them for their impatience, as well as for their patience, their love and the pleasure of their company.
And after four novels, two screenplays and twenty years of marriage, Elkan Abramowitz continues to hold on to his title: Best Person in the World.
