IN GRATITUDE
If you are reading this in 2017, it has been roughly five years since I began working on this novel. I’m deeply grateful to the many communities of authors, scholars, historians, archivists, religious leaders, bloggers, and friends who took the time out to talk with me about horse-and-buggy math (Silvio Spina and Dad), late nineteenth century fashion (Lissa Fonseca and Jason Dixon), and other random questions (Facebook, my blogger friends, and Twitter peeps, I’m looking at you).
For being an “Editor of Awesome,” Lynne Missen. You changed everything. Thank you for believing I could do this.
For additional feedback, copy, and editorial suggestions: Shana Hayes, Brittany Lavery, Peter Phillips, and Helen Smith.
For tea, scones, and being the Queen of Publicity: Vikki Vansickle.
For connections to Montgomery that are no accident: Liza Morrison.
And to the rest of the Penguin Random House of Canada team who worked on this novel, thank you for all of your efforts in helping to make this book the best it could be.
For believing in this project and support: Kate Macdonald Butler and Sally Keefe-Cohen.
For telling stories and driving with me around Cavendish: Jennie and John Macneill.
For telling stories and the mysteries of Park Corner: George, Maureen, and Pamela Campbell.
For telling stories and allowing us to prowl around Ingleside: Robert Montgomery.
