ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I would like to thank my agent, Bill Gladstone, for taking a chance on a young new author, always having faith in this project, and being a loyal friend during difficult times. I would also like to thank Ming Russell and Nathalie McKnight at Waterside Productions for encouraging and supporting me throughout the publishing process. I would like to thank Susan Mc-Combs for pulling one of my manuscripts out of a slush pile several years ago and becoming interested in my writing; and I must thank Patricia Heinicke for taking the time to hone and refine my skills as a writer. I owe so much to my editor and good friend, Vicki Weiland, whose talent and dedication greatly improved this manuscript and whose generous help continues to inspire me. I am extremely grateful to David Wilk for enthusiastically believing in this message, agreeing to publish this book, and being a comrade in the struggle for a brighter future. I am also indebted to Gray Cutler for skillfully copyediting the manuscript, Barbara Aronica-Buck for beautifully designing the book, and Dave Grossman for writing the foreword and influencing my ideas with his groundbreaking research, brilliant insights into the problem of violence, and bold determination to make our world more peaceful. Finally, I must thank Jo Ann Deck. Words cannot express how important she has been in helping me bring this hopeful message to the world. She is the best friend anyone could ask for and the person who made all of this possible.
