Author’s Acknowledgements
I owe thanks to my elementary school teachers — nuns who taught me how to diagram every conceivable sentence and, despite that fact, also taught me to love language and literature. I appreciate the efforts of Tim Gallan, a project editor second to none; Lindsay Lefevere, Wiley’s acquisitions editor; Cindy Kaplan, the technical reviewer; and Sophia Seidner, my supportive and attentive agent.
Dedication
For Elizabeth and Lucette, whom I love more than words can express. And for Harry, who will always live in my heart.
