I had the pleasure of working with Melissa Chadburn many years ago and we knew then that she is brilliant and could do everything she wants to do! I can't wait to stand in line to buy a signed copy of this book when it comes out on April 12.

Thanks, NetGalley folks, for a chance to read and review this gift.
