THANKS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This novel is the work of several years, during which the love,
support, and encouragement of my husband, Joseph Mansy, was of
utmost importance. He also maintains my web page at
www.goonan.com
My cousin Amy Roberts, a poet and writer, took the time to read
and critique the manuscript, and her input was invaluable. Through
her, Dorothy Strickland helped me adjust my portrait of Su-Chen.
 Sage Walker, Steve Brown, and Michaela Roessner also read this
book in manuscript, and their responses helped immensely in
making it into a real novel.
Jennifer Brehl and Diana Gill helped me remove from the book
that which was not necessary, and made it shine.
Devi Pillai, efficient and lively, helped things go smoothly.
Hilda Stotts, an Argentinian, provided much of the material for
the Argentina section, and I thank her for the time she spent doing
so.
I finished the final rewrite while spending two weeks, every day
and many nights, in the George Washington University Hospital
intensive care waiting room. Thanks to all of the nurses, fellows,
and physicians who cared for Irma, especially Dr. Seneff and Dr.
Junker.
The concept of the orerry that appears in this novel was the idea
