The author is grateful to her weekly writers' group for kindness and criticism during the
writing of this book. Special thanks also to Louis DeMattei, Robert Foothorap, Gretchen
Schields, Amy Hempel, Jennifer Barth, and my family in China and America. And a
thousand flowers each to three people whom I have had the joy and the luck to know: my
editor, Faith Sale, for her belief in this book; my agent, Sandra Dijkstra, for saving my
life; and my teacher, Molly Giles, who told me to start over again and then patiently
guided me to the end.
