ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I want to thank my dear friend Bonnie Hampton for walking the first miles of this book with me and steadfastly believing I could "go it alone." Also a big thank-you to Joyce McKay, Polly Ostrofe, and Irene Frazier for their insightful expertise and valuable time. I'm so grateful for my publishers, Julie Bennett and Mary Jane Ryan, who guide me with wisdom and determination and gently edit my work. For the inspiration they have given me, I want to thank each of the writers whose words I've quoted here. Extra special thanks to my husband and partner, Gene Thoele, for all his love, support, and enthusiasm. He provides much-needed hugs when I am battered by computer-frustration fatigue, and he is fun to live with besides!
