Pour Your Heart Into It (49 page)

Most important, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to Sheri, for being there every step of the way and for showing me the way to create the perfect balance in life between work and family.

A
nd from the co-author, Dori Jones Yang:

In addition to the above, I would like to extend my personal thanks to my parents, William B. Jones and Margaretta H. Jones, who nurtured a love of writing in me at an early age; Bruce Nussbaum, my valued and trusted mentor; Lew Young and Steve Shepard, editors-in-chief of
Business Week
, who believed in me over fifteen years; Lynn Tonglao, who transcribed many of the interviews; Paul Yang, who lived through every stage of this book and provided vital sustenance and inspiration to “get it done”; Emily Yang, my confidante, helper, and beloved daughter; and Howard Schultz, who really is what he says he is.
