Many people have been involved in the process of developing this project from a tiny idea into the book that it is now. You are too many to name, but you know who you are–and sincerest thanks to all of you.
Special thanks to Maxine Hitchcock, Keshini Naidoo and all the super-dynamic team at Avon UK.
