keen-eyed and judicious editor who helped me unlock so many
doors in this tale. And I would like to thank Susan Petersen
Kennedy for taking a chance on this book and the hardworking

reading, re-reading, and helping me edit every single draft of this
novel. For your patience and understanding, I will always love you,
Roya jan.
