To friends who have supported my writing: Laurie Comings, Beth Brannigan, Jenna Crawley, Vanessa Many, Jessica Arends, Bianca Nogrady, Kirsten Fazio and Mika Utzon Popov—thank you.
Thank you Raquel Noguez and Sally Sweetapple, for looking after the kids. And to Kate, Damian, Finbar and Sylvie for always being there. Lyn and Kirsten Tranter, I am grateful for the confidence and feedback. Thanks to Debra Adelaide and Conrad Walters for the advice.
Several people are absent from my life who were in my thoughts when I wrote this: my dad, Joe Limprecht, who encouraged me to question; my grandpa, Hollis Limprecht, who encouraged me to write, and my grandma, Lorraine Silverman, who encouraged me to drink martinis.
