The Marching Season

always, a heartfelt thanks to everyone at ICM—Heather Schroder, Sloan Harris, and Jack Horner; and to the remarkable team at Random House—Jeanne Tift, Tom Perry, Carol Schneider, Sybil Pincus, Sarah French, Andy Carpenter, Caroline Cunningham, Amy Edelman, Deborah Aiges, and Sheryl Stebbins; and at Ballantine—Linda Grey, Leona Nevler, Kimberly Hovey, Woody Tracy, Tip Tharp, Jean Fenton, Jenny Smith, Jocelyn Schmidt, and George Fisher.
    And a very special thanks to Wanda Chappell for all of her help and support. She will be greatly missed.
    And finally, none of this would be possible without the friendship, support, and enthusiasm of three extraordinary people: my agent, Esther Newberg; my brilliant editor, Daniel Men-aker; and my publisher, Ann Godoff. You are the best.
