Maybe it's because I met Trevor shortly after he departed his mountain home or because together we did our best to recreate some of the natural magic that nurtured his spirit in our Oaklnd retreat. I wish all boys could have a mountain of their own, know the sound of the wind as intimately as the touch of their mother's hands. Though my own family has traveled from home to home over the past few years, I'd like to believe that in each place I've managed to create some sense of the pastoral, if only in our imaginations. You've been a wonderful inspiration and partner in this effort, even when we've been estranged. Bravo, Romney! You've kept the magic alive for yourself and your kids; you've moved and motivated me to follow my instinct to love and value the landscape around me and to bring the earth's fruits into my kitchen. You've shared what is most important to you with all of us by writing this lovely book. You've been very brave and committed and shown tremendous self-respect throughout the procss. Thank you! Much love, Amy Romney,
