第2章

To my parents, Mollie and Abe, who first taught me the meaning of love, and continue (at the proud ages of eighty-seven and eighty-nine) to teach its nuances.

—Bev

And, at the other end of the spectrum…

To my first granddaughter, Emma, who lights up my life with her smile and reminds me to believe in the fundamental goodness of people.

—Sharon
