The book is finally done, midwifed by editor extraordinaire Allison Cherry. Thank you for redirecting me whenever my muse tried to take the wrong exit.
Thank you to the other residents of this old farmhouse, where we hunkered down together and survived the events of the past year.
Nora K., you are always my chief cheerleader. You make all the difference for me.
And thank you to all the readers of The Portrait, especially those who wrote to me and begged to hear Lydia’s story. Thank you for your patience and your persistence. Catherine isn’t done with me yet!
