A special thank you goes to Cheryl Lenser, who has always been there with a quick answer for the most difficult indexing question. You've been there every step of the way, and you've been a great mentor as well as a great friend. Thank you.

Thanks also goes to Dan Mayer and the entire Seventh Street Books staff for the passion that they all put into every book. You've given Marjorie a great home. And, as always, thanks to my agent, Cherry Weiner. You believed in Marjorie from the start.

Again, thanks to Rose for riding along and working harder than you ever get credit for. I couldn't do what I do without you.
