I would especially like to thank my husband and children for supporting my dream to write (and complete—I have to add that) this novel. For not complaining (too much) about the messy house or the times my eyes glazed over when you were talking to me because I was “thinking about my book, again.” But most of all, for your continued tolerance with each new endeavor I choose to pursue. One of them is going to pay off. I just know it. :) Last, but certainly not least; I would like to thank each and every one of you for taking the time to read my work. It means a lot.
