I want to thank Rod Lurie for all his support and feedback and for putting up with me when I was completely freaking out about deadlines. And I want to thank my friends and family for being so patient and understanding when they didn’t hear from me for weeks on end because I was completely caught up in writing. I don’t know what I would do without any of you!
