I would like to dedicate this book to the people who have influenced my life the most:
My late mother, Wyn Haldeman, who gave me, my sisters, and every woman she met the confidence to do well.
My late sister, Lynne Haldeman, who listened to my struggles every night for five years and encouraged me through my co-op court case to repair my building’s chimney.
My twin sister, Kaye, who has protected me all my life, and who keeps me down-to-earth.
Tosca, my lovely daughter, and Elon and Kimbal, my two sons, who have respected and supported me in everything I do.
My eleven grandchildren, who keep me learning and bring me so much joy with all their questions.
My extended family, friends, and team, who have supported me throughout my hard, good, and new times.
