Читать книгу Gaining Visibility - Pamela Hearon - Страница 7

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Although writing this book has been an extremely personal journey for me, there have been far too many companions along the way for me to ever feel alone. I’d like to recognize a few.

First and foremost, the Pink Warriors—those who have fought the battle against breast cancer, those who are currently fighting, and those who have been touched by the disease through someone they care for. Be strong. Stay courageous. Keep the faith, and never give up hope. A cure is out there.

My fabulous agent, Jennifer Weltz of the Jean V. Naggar Literary Agency, whose keen vision recognized the potential for this book, even in its earliest stages. Thanks for making me stretch on tiptoe until I could see it, too.

My amazing editor, Esi Sogah, who knew exactly what the story needed and set me on the correct path to find it. I couldn’t have found my way without your guidance.

Kensington Publishing, a publishing house that feels like family. Thanks for the warm welcome and the wonderful support.

My longtime critique partner and friend, Kimberly Lang, who has seen this book through more rewrites than she could’ve ever imagined—and somehow loved them all.

My critique partners at WriteRomance: Sandra Jones, Angela Campbell, and Maggie Van Well. You all have extraordinary, yet different, critiquing skills—and I get the benefit of them all.

My precious, loving, and supportive husband, Dick, who stood valiantly beside me through every second of the battle . . . and who never makes me feel invisible.
