managed this intricate process and worked with me every step of the way. A special thank-you to my editor, Karen Murgolo, whose hard work and patience were
invaluable—and to the rest of the publishing team at Hachette Book Group, including Jamie Raab, Matthew Ballast, Tom Hardej, Dorothea Halliday, Pamela
Schechter, Melissa Bullock, Nicole Bond, and Peggy Boelke.
