Acknowledgements

If it wasn’t for the encouragement of some very special and talented people, this project wouldn’t have happened. It all started when my husband Dean Schwartz introduced to me Charlie Wing, an incredible author, who is a great inspiration. He led me to Dolores York, who saw this project grow from a teeny-weeny-seed into a book. Thank you both, so much! Thanks to Jane Stern, who encouraged me to walk with my own legs, and gave me great insights all along the way.

Thanks to Alan Richman and David Leite for making me exercise the skill of writing, always coaching me with supreme technique, and helping me find a manner of therapy in writing.
