Close Relationships and Amazing Career

I created my loving, committed relationship that goes beyond anything I ever imagined. I thought the emotional distance that defined my family was just a fact of life; then “I love you” came flying out of us every time we spoke — and not a moment too soon, because four years later my sister died. I returned to a career in publishing after a decade; then I became senior managing editor at a top-tier academic press. I knew I could write, but thought I didn’t have anything to say; then my memoir came pouring out.
