I owe thanks to many people for their influence on my life, and hence, their contribution to this book, but for practical reasons, I’ve tried to narrow my gratitude down to a few specific individuals and groups. I owe thanks to the women of the Divide-Claydon area and to those from the valley near Eastend who befriended me and taught me much. The writers who came to stay in the Wallace Stegner House in Eastend during the time I was working on this book also provided support and encouragement, in particular, Sean Virgo and Terry Jordan. Nor would this book be as extensive, as detailed, or as comprehensible as it is without the sensitivity and incisiveness of my editor, Phyllis Bruce, who often seemed to know what I was trying to say when I wasn’t sure myself. Any shortcomings in the book are my responsibility. Thanks to all of them, and especially to Peter and my family, without whose loving support I would have given up long ago.
