My affection and appreciation goes out to those who supported me along the way. Many thanks to Christy Fletcher, founder of Fletcher and Company, who, three books and many years ago, was the first agent to express an interest in my work. Also to Kelly Karczewski of Fletcher and Company, for her priceless professional support. Thank you to my amazing writing consultant, Carol Edelstein of “A Gallery of Readers,” and to Liz Resnick for her invaluable insights as an early reader. And for their expert advice on finding the correct word in Yiddish, my thanks to Prof. Haim Gunner and to Prof. Alyssa Quint.
Also, my warmest gratitude goes out to my fellow writers for their support, in person and over social media: Jillian Cantor, Dean Cycon, Kathleen Grissom, Pam Jenoff, Dan Levy, Erika Marks, Emily Neuberger, Julie Ries, Erika Robuck, Jennifer Rosner, Anika Scott, Pat Stacy, Leah Weiss, Kate Whouley, and Andria Williams.
Finally, I cannot forget my family, who not only supported me throughout the process but provided me with respite and encouragement: my boys, Cameron Gemmell and Alexander Pavlova-Gillham.
And as always, from the depth of my heart, I am thankful to my life’s partner and wife, Ludmilla Pavlova-Gillham, who is still my touchstone in all things and to whom I have dedicated this book.
