DEDICATION

This book is especially dedicated to:

• My mother, Myrna, whose own life-debilitating illness has brought new meaning to the word courage.

• My father, Don, who is a pillar of stability, even when his world is crumbling around him.

• My brother, Dan, who helped me maintain my sanity and perspective in times of seeming chaos.

• My aunt, Elaine, who taught me what nurturing and support are really all about.

• My “Vermont mom,” Ginny, who stepped in at just the right critical moments.

• All the incredible friends that have been there for me, both old and new, whom I am so blessed to have in my life. You know who you are and I love you all....

I would also like to recognize several other individuals without whose efforts and understanding this book would never have become a reality:

• My “shadow” agent, Helen, who saw the jewel in the glimmer of an idea, and pushed me to make it happen.

• My current boss, Susan, who graciously and patiently accommodated my work schedule around her belief in this project.

• My editorial advisor, John, whom I revere for his journalistic brilliance and editorial rigor.

• My editor, Tracy Bernstein, who humored me past obstacles in the road to completion.

• And last, but far from least, my coauthor, Rob, who kept me on course when I began to stray, and calm in the midst of the storm, in more ways than one.

I feel honored and privileged to have had such a talented group of individuals providing such support, encouragement, and friendship throughout this endeavor.

This book is dedicated to:

• My beautiful wife, Jody, and our wonderful girls, Madeline, Erica, and Jessica.

• My mentors and friends, to whom I owe more than I can ever repay—Anne, Arnie, Mort, and Rob.

• Deborah, who will always be an inspiration to me.
