ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
When I'm in the process of writing a book, I can't imagine what I might do to improve it. And when I'm done, I hate going back to make changes—even when they are changes for the better.
So I would like to thank those readers of the first draft who dragged me weeping back to the keyboard and helped me to create the finished work: Andrew Dansby, Anne Groell, Sharon Keir, Nancy Kress, Penny Wilson, and Eleanor Wood.
