The Badasses, the lovely Badasses—Jamie Raintree, Kate Moretti, Aimie Runyan, Andrea Catalano, Orly Konig Lopez, and Theresa Allen—helped keep both my writing and my sanity on an even keel.
Profound appreciation for my partner, Scott Crichton, and his unwavering support for this crazy writing life. All love to my children, Kate Breslin, whose fearlessness gave me my Margaret, and Sean Breslin.
