Acknowledgments
Gratitude to friends and colleagues who nurtured this project: the Prairiewoods Retreat Group who heard the bare bones of the story in 2009; my writers’ bloc (Jan Blazanin, Rebecca Janni and Eileen Boggess); Susan Cohen and her team at Writers’ House; Mary Cash and her crew at Holiday House. And all the people whose names I don’t know but whose dedicated work I see at every turn. Thanks!
