The Enchanted Life of Adam Hope (55 page)

The final revisions were written with the support of an Individual Artist Fellowship from the State of Florida Division of Cultural Affairs.

My appreciation for the writing of Michael Ondaatje, Terry Tempest Williams, and Craig Childs has informed this novel. My humble thanks to them for how well they have done their jobs.

I would also like to acknowledge the efforts of all who seek to protect and conserve Nature, particularly those who work to preserve the purity and plenty of Florida’s amazing and endangered waterways.
