Crossing Over [antikvár]

ACKNOWLEDGMENTSI owe a great debt of gratitude to a great many people whose talents, energy, and support have made Crossing Overboth the book and the showpossible.Simple words don't do justice to the intense energy and unwavering support that Debbie Luican has demonstrated since the very first phone conversation I had with her three years ago. Her guidance and assistance in helping me tackle and overcome some of my toughest obstacles have been vital to me. And my success would not mean what it does if she were not there to make me realize how important it is to take control, honor the process, and above all, to laugh.I want to express my deep thanks to Rick Firstman, not only for his collaboration on this book, but also for the energy and skiU he poured into One Last Time. Reliving your own life and recounting the endless experiences of others is a difficult, often painful process, unless you are taking a friend on that journey with you. Rick's ability to fashion my thoughts and experiences into an absorbing narrative have made it possible for me to share my story. For that, and for the sensitivity and intelligence he has brought to a difficult and controversial subject, I am grateful.The thanks I could give to Mark Misiano could fill a page, but for the purposes of this book, what I must acknowledge most is the support he has shown me in my work the last three years. He would be in my corner no matter what I chose to do in life, but he kept me on track when that's what I needed most. If Mark has been like one brother to me, Ernie San-topatre has been the other. I'm not sure how I would make it through aU the ups and downs of my work without his friendship.It's hard to imagine what kind of television show Crossing Over would have been without Paul Shavelson.
