Wishful Thinking (26 page)
Authors: Alexandra Bullen
To Eliot, for reading a book about dresses in public, and for getting me out of the house.
As always, to my family: My mother, Maria Krokidas, for applying the “cry test” to countless drafts, and for reading my contracts so I don’t have to. My father, Bruce Bullen, who gives the best advice. And to my brothers, George and John, for making me laugh, even when I don’t feel like it.
This book is dedicated to my grandmothers, who lived across the street from each other the entire time I knew them, who always put their families first, and who are so much a part of what I write and the person I’ve turned out to be.
Thank you, thank you, thank you all.
