Duchess of Mine (44 page)

Dedication

For the women in my life who taught me
strength and vulnerability: My mother, a physician despite being a
woman, despite her own father telling her she was taking the place
of a good man—miss you so much, Mom! My sister, without her, I
wouldn’t know what generosity was. My friends, who picked me up
time and time again. I am humbled and so grateful to have all of
you in my life!
