Dedicated to the only three
people alive who genuinely believe it rivals
War and Peace:
my mother, Cheryl, the mom ‘a million girls would die for’;
my father, Steve, who is handsome, witty, brilliant, and talented, and who insisted on writing his own dedication;
my phenomenal sister, Dana, their favorite (until I wrote a book).
