The package from my editor at Ballantine, Kara Cesare, sat on the counter for a while, waiting for my husband to come home.


But then opening it was so much fun. Surprise, there were two!

We read Kara’s lovely note and then all the best parts of the book–Mike saw the dedication and loved it, and then we just sat and stared at it. Such a beautiful book! The lettering shines, which is such a lovely detail. The deckle edge…
Home on the bookshelf at last.

Can’t wait for readers to have it in their hands. Ballantine did an amazing job.
