I
am so grateful for the people in my life, and thankful for everyone who once again helped me share my reality with all of you!
First, the team at Gallery Books, who, among other virtues and publishing geniuses, never complained when I moved around the chickens on the jacket. Many thanks to Jen Bergstrom, Patrick Price, Jennifer Robinson, Kristen Dwyer, Kiele Raymond, and Lisa Litwack.

And always, my friends and family, who saw me through a revolving hospital door with immense love and unbelievable support: Dean, Jack, Liam, Stella, Hattie, Finn, Mom, Randy (and his beautiful family, Leah, Sage, and Lotus), Mehran, Patsy (and her family), Scout and Bill (aka The Guncles), Simone, Grandma Jacquie, Jenny, Amy, Sara, Jennifer, Marcel, James, Steven, Dr. J, my Canadian family, Aunt Kay, Brandy, Paola, Laura, Randy and Fenton, Jess, Chris W., Seth, Richard, Lindsey, Mo, Megan, Brendan, Anthony, Erica, Mike Rosenthal, Patty Penn, Jill K, Fay, all the amazing doctors, nurses, and staff of Cedar Sinai, and the fabulous Hilary Liftin, who always calls it like it is!
