Acknowledgments

This book wouldn't be in its present form without the efforts of my talented and clearheaded agent, Christina Hogrebe at the Jane Rotrosen Agency, who took a chance on a first-time author.

The fabulous editorial team of Shana Drehs and Anna Michels at Sourcebooks patiently answered all my questions and shaped this into the novel that I hoped it could be. I look forward to working on many more together.

Thanks also to Heather Hall and the production and design departments at Sourcebooks.

And to Christina Prestia and Eric S. Brown on the business end.

Along the way, friends and family have come to the rescue. Mariah Fredericks, Denise Fulbrook, Julie Barer, Nicki and Henry Welt, Kelly Adams, Rebecca Gopoian and David Heatley, Marcia Lovas, Erin Toomey, Maria and Mitch Hoffman, Rebecca Gowers, Kevin Baker, Melissa Rathbone, Anandi Hattiangadi, Kiran Nagarkar, and Svetlana Mintcheva provided advice and support at critical moments.

My mother, Tulsi Vatsal, has read more drafts than I can count.

My husband, Daniel Welt, and our daughters have been there through all the ups and downs of this project. It's been a long journey, and their enthusiasm and support have made it all worthwhile.
