      About the Author

      Foreword

      When I was a preteen, I had a poster on my bedroom wall. It showed a cartoon figure with lemons going into its head and yellow liquid spewing out of its nose. Underneath it said, When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Trite but deep for a 10-year-old. When my friends weren’t making sick comments about the nose spigot, I more-or-less followed the poster’s advice.

      Over the years, making lemonade went through many nuanced translations: denial, naivety, stupidity, guts. And, I have to admit, a few times I just broke down and cursed at life’s lemons. But still, a little puddle of that poster’s lemonade pooled in my psyche somewhere.
