For friendship, hospitality and wise counsel thanks to Kate Colquhoun, Lisa Highton, Britt Berge, and Jason Hewitt, for communing over bottomless cups of tea and coffee. To the gracious Eveline Carn, thank you for allowing a stranger to visit your home. Admiration for and thanks to the taxi driver, who, when I said, ‘Follow that taxi!’ did not hesitate or ask questions.
Finally, heartfelt thanks to Malcolm for his unwavering support and understanding.
After KATE MAYFIELD was born she was taken directly to a funeral home. Her father, an undertaker, set up shop in a small town in southern Kentucky where the family resided in his funeral home for thirteen years. This is the setting of her memoir, The Undertaker’s Daughter. Kate attended Western Kentucky University before moving to Manhattan where she graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. After living in New York and Los Angeles, she now makes London her home.
