Acknowledgements
First and foremost, we thank the women who participated in this study. Their generosity of time, kindness, honesty, laughter, courage, and yes, food is what made this idea concocted at a kitchen table come to fruition. We are grateful for the support and encouragement of our family, especially Tony Dottolo, Danielle Dottolo, and Emileen Butler.
