I’m so appreciative to Connie, Patrick, Rosianna, Holly, and Melinda for their time, insight, and notably, generosity. Familiar others know who they are.

Thank you to Bert for your dogged encouragement and for weathering my moods better than I do.

My dad instilled in me a fascination with stories. My mom did actually force me back into the ocean. These are maybe two ways to say the same thing, which is love. I’m so glad to have you both.
