Читать книгу The Distance Between Us - Masha Hamilton - Страница 5

To Dan Gilmore, Steve Hanson, Bernadette Steele and Nancy Wall for fiery discussions as the sun went down and for being fantastic midwives to this manuscript, and to Rebecca Lowen and Jennifer Stewart for always thoughtful reads.

To Fred Ramey, for treating Caddie as real from the very first (does anything warm a writer’s heart more?) and for allowing her to live between these covers and for pushing me, with tact and wisdom, to be a truer writer.

To Marly Rusoff of amazing energy, for her belief in The Distance Between Us and her determination to get it published.

To Yaddo and all the people connected with it for the incredible, breathtaking gift of time and space.

To Heidi Levine, for two decades of friendship, for being out there every day, for sharing so much of it with me.

To Wendy Orange for being an unparalleled reader and cheerleader who always knew Caddie, and who would have hand-delivered this story to God if she could have found a way.

To Rupert and Arra Hamilton for unconditional support and the wisest of conversations, and to Matthew Hamilton, from my heart, for the gun stuff.

To David Orr, for believing even when I don’t and seeing when I can’t, and for always saying yes.

To Briana, Cheney and Daylon for making my life—and thus my writing—richer. And for giving it more attitude.

And to those met along the way, in the field and on the street, whose actions and words touched me and contributed to my understanding of war and love.

Thank you.
