Acknowledgements
This book owes its existence to the invaluable
support and contributions of numerous remarkable
individuals who, like unexpected gifts, spontaneously
entered my life, ignited paths I never could have
foreseen, and then, with some exceptions, faded away
again.
Among these amazing individuals are Tim Motion,
Jane Somerville, José Prazeres, Andrew Leigh, Dick
Martin, Rui Gonçalves, Dorothea Helms, Kerri King,
Tim Whyte, Margaret Zwart, Sandra Topper, Ross
Harvey, Lynda Hill, and Bernard Scrivener.
Thanks to Alexandra Leggat, my editor, for turning a
complex manuscript into an entertaining book.
Additionally, I am thankful to those who supported
me with their steadfast patience and unwavering
radiance, including Mike Freedman, Dr. Claire
Murphy, Arline Smith, Sheldon Rudner, John and
Lizzie Blackburn, Roderick Stewart, Jason King,
Joanna, Kate, and Pippa Boothman, and Thomas and
Sandy Pinto Basto.
And Wendy, of course, who always lights the way.
