ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

As always, a special thank you to Owen Laster,
Beverley Slopen, and Larry Mirkin, good friends
as well as trusted advisors. Thank you also
to Emily Bestler, the editor of my dreams, and
her assistant Sarah Branham, for their
assistance and good humor in the creation of this
novel. I also count myself very lucky to have the
support of Judith Curr, Louise Burke,
Cathy Gruhn, Stephen Boldt, and all the
other terrific people at Atria and Pocket who
work so hard to make my books a success.
Writing this novel would have been very difficult
without the help of Donna and Jack Frysinger,
who gave generously of their time and energy
to provide me with all the information I needed to bring
the charming, oceanside city of Delray to life.
I look forward to seeing you there soon.
My love to Warren, Shannon, Annie,
Renee, Aurora and Rosie, and all my friends
in Toronto and Palm Beach. Thank you for being
patient, loyal, and always interesting (especially
important for a writer). Note to Annie: You
could be a little less interesting for a while.
And lastly, a special thank you to those
readers who have sent such wonderful messages to me
via my Web site. While there's not enough time
to thank you each in person, please know that your letters
have meant more to me than I can ever adequately
express. Your kind thoughts and good wishes buoy
my spirits and make my day. Thank you.
