Dedications

To my father Tady, who passed away January 2003 and who all his life taught me that I can question a lot and still believe … a lot.

To my mother Inga, who taught me the immense worth of not taking myself all too seriously.

To my Mercedes, my beloved partner in the adventures of life.

 

And to my three daughters—Mercedes, Alexandra, and Adriana ... it’s for their world I am writing.
