G. P. Putnam's Sons

G. P. Putnam's Sons appears in the author’s acknowledgments as part of the publishing relationship behind the book: the author credits editor Stacey Barney and thanks Kate Meltzer and the wider team at Putnam and Penguin Random House for their support and welcome. The passage records the people’s contributions and the author’s gratitude, but does not describe the organization’s structure or publishing process.

Editorial and Team Support

The author gives particular thanks to editor Stacey Barney for her insight, fervor, and deep affection for Henry and Grace, the novel’s central characters. The acknowledgment presents Barney’s editorial involvement as exceptionally important to the author, while describing the book’s match with its editor through the language of soul mates.

Kate Meltzer is separately recognized for tireless support. The author also thanks the rest of the team at Putnam and Penguin Random House for welcoming the author enthusiastically. The acknowledgment names these contributions collectively rather than specifying individual roles or particular publishing tasks.
