The Night Gardener (41 page)

Beyond these sources, I have been helped in much more tangible ways by numerous friends and colleagues: Sally Alexander, Jim Armstrong, Katherine Ayres, Chad Beckerman, Tamar Brazis, Caroline Carlson, Liam Flanagan, Markus Hoffman, Doris Hutton, Lynne Missen, Joseph Regal, Thomas Sweterlitsch, Kate Weiss, Jason Wells, John Wheeler, and, above all, Mary Elizabeth Burke. To these people I say,
Thank you
. Your support is more than I could wish for.
