Dedication(s)


(first things first)


This book is dedicated to my agent, (AGENT'S NAME). Thank you for finally responding to my daily query letters and lifting the restraining order. I hope I have made you proud.

This book is dedicated to Oprah Winfrey, who miraculously picked my book from thousands and thousands of possibilities as the very last Oprah Book Club Selection. You can imagine my amazement when I got the call! I will never forget you, Oprah. Can I have a car, too? No, just kidding. Ha Ha. Say hi to Sophie for me.

This book is dedicated to God, who I am hoping will forgive me for Chapters 4 and 5.

This book is dedicated to my husband, whose wise advice has gone unheeded for more than 30 years. Also my sisters, who hopefully will not be angry that I turned myself into the hero of all our childhood stories. And of course my children, who deeply disappointed me by turning into grownups but subsequently redeemed themselves by becoming my best friends in the entire world.

This book is dedicated to (POET) who once said (SOMETHING MYSTERIOUS AND INSPIRATIONAL). Need I say more?

You are one of the funniest people I know. But I already told you that. And I told you to write a book. Remember? Remember?

Bruce: I do remember, absolutely! I hope to become even funnier as senility sets in.

Susan: Thanks! I'm well underway. Just a few chapters to go ... well, all the chapters ...

We're having an office decorating contest at work! With prizes! So in my usual quirky way, I'm being as competitive as possible. ...
