Many of the sentences, paragraphs, and letters are taken from letters I’ve
saved over the years (imagine rummaging through boxes and boxes of them
in the attic looking for that great thank-you note). Thanks and love to all
my favorite correspondents. You know who you are.
My warm and grateful appreciation goes to Tom Power, professional
angel and gifted and incisive editor. His abundance of ideas and unfailing
courtesy have been a joy to work with these past twelve years.
