"picoult, jodi, keeping faith" - читать интересную книгу автора (Picoult Jodi)

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

While researching this book, I was for the first time
shooed out of someone's office. It quickly became
clear to me that simply bringing up the concept of
God for conversation was likely to raise people's
hackles. Add to that my plot, and it became an
all-out war. So, for their open-mindedness in considering
my ideas along with their strong religious
convictions, I'd like to thank the following people:
Rabbi Lina Zerbarini, Herman F.
Holbrook, Father Ronald Saunders, Father
Andrew F. Kline. Kudos also to my
physicians-on-call, Dr. James Umlas
and Dr. Spencer Greene. Thanks to Nancy
Veresan, and to Kim Keating--who has moved beyond
legal expert to become a valued contributor
to my books. I only hope she's ready for the
next one. And to the various psychiatric
professionals who made my characters and my court
case come to life, a heartfelt thanks: Dr.
Tia Horner, Dr. Burl Daviss, Dr.
Doug Fagen. My appreciation to Sarah
Gross for her prompt responses to e-mail
questions. Thanks to Jane Picoult and Laura
Gross for their insightful first-reader comments;
to Beccy Goodhart for her painstaking editing and for
helping me deliver my masterpiece before she
delivered her own; to Camille McDuffie, who
I know will jump through hoops to make people read this
book. And finally, my gratitude to Kyle,
Jake, and Samantha van Leer ... and their
dad, Tim--for getting through all those baths and
bedtime stories without me, so that I'd have time
to write.
