Authors’ Note
THE DEFINING DECISION begins about thirty minutes after the end of The Buried Bride and contains spoilers for the earlier book.
This book takes place in a time and place very much like our own. In the book’s world, however, COVID-19 doesn’t exist; hence our characters wear no masks, shake hands, hug with abandon, and gather in groups of more than 10 people.
All the places and characters in this book are the product of the authors’ imagination and research. Any resemblance to actual places or persons is entirely coincidental.
TRIGGER WARNING: this book contains occasional profanity and reference to s****l situations.
To the young men and women on college and university campuses around the world, who every day make decisions that may define the rest of their lives.
