This book owes much to the generosity of many. My agent, Elaine Koster, encouraged me when it was an early idea, and again when it was a long manuscript. At Random House, Sunshine Lucas, Liz Fogarty, Tom Perry, Carol Schneider, Gaby Bordwin, Amy Edelman, Stacy Rockwood, Casey Hampton, Libby McGuire, and Ivan Held are among my many colleagues who applied their great publishing skills to my work. My copy editor, Benjamin Dreyer, brought his beautiful expertise to these pages. Evan Stone, Maria Massey, and Daniel Burke read the final drafts with thoughtful precision. Ann Godoff edited this book with patient, knowing care. For that, and much else, I am grateful to her.
