ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Rick, you’ve been a solid rock of love and encouragement. And Joe, our sons couldn’t have dreamed up a better dad. What has been so hard could have been so much harder.

Thanks to Jill Swenson at Swenson Book Development for pulling the best possible book out of me, and to Karen Gulliver, editor and dear friend, who kept me and my words in line. Many thanks to all the others who supported my efforts in getting this book to print: Adrienne Mandel, Antonio Pittarelli, Bonnie Beavers, Carol Blimline, Carol Silverman, Christine Khan-King, Cindy Khan, David Swenson, Derek Leebaert, Eugenio Villa Nueva, Heather Frank, Jennie Swenson, Joann Petrone, John Baudhuin, Julia de Valencia Duran, Julie Swenson-Magney, Kimberly Baker, Kim Straehla, Kitty Lilly, Laura Fitzpatrick, Laura Straehla, Laurie Ward, Lisa Kinn, Marcy Silbert, Margaret Erickson, Melissa Ford, Pat Williams, Rebecca Daughtery, Richard Swenson III, Richard Swenson, Jr., Robin Delgado, Sara Irani, Sue Swenson-Hoyos, Susan Portmann, and all the gals from my delightfully discerning book group: Ava Kuo, Eileen Craig, Karen Gulliver, Lisa Krim, Mindy Weinstein, and Stephanie Proestal.

And many thanks to Central Recovery Press and my warm and wonderful editor, Helen O’Reilly, for the support and the faith and for giving my words a chance to be heard.
