"I am grateful to Catherine Fredman who, after having helped me with Only the Paranoid Survive, a book on business strategy, readily shifted gears stylistically, adapting to the requirements of telling the personal story of a boy. She maintained her keen editorial instincts but also undertook to question me in detail about settings, scenes and emotions. Catherine's pursuit of the fine detail caused me to dig into my memories far more than I thought I could."
