The Last Rose of Shanghai(114)

Thank you to the librarians at Flower Mound Public Library, especially Vickie Doss, for putting in my hands many books I requested through the interlibrary loan service. I’m grateful for your enthusiasm and diligence.

Thank you so much to my Jewish family for your enthusiastic embrace of my books and your steadfast support—you probably will never know how much your acceptance means to me—and to my family in China and my precious Annabelle for cheering me on.

Last but not least, my endless love and adoration to Mark, my husband, my secretary, my technical support. I hope you’ll read my books someday, and I want to let you know that you’re my favorite song, and you’ll always have my ears.
