To WW, for everything
I
WOULD LIKE
to thank everyone at Alloy Entertainment and William Morrow for bringing this book into beingâespecially Joelle Hobeika, Katie McGee, and May Chen for their invaluable guidance, warmth, and enthusiasm.
I would also like to thank:
My father, for being a quiet but powerful voice of encouragement.
My sister, for a lifetime of unflagging support, gentle nudging, and laughter.
My mother, whose love, wisdom, and passion for life are the foundations upon which my life is built.
Sonia Verma, David Bell, Jeff Oliver, Ayla Teitelbaum, and Corey Kohn, for friendships that have buoyed me during the good times and, even more so, the bad.
Tim Foy, whose undying faith and joyful love have made me braver and stronger than I ever thought possible.
Behind every great fortune there is a great crime.
