Dedication

This book is dedicated to my two daughters-­in-­law, ­Kimberly Kohler and Bethany Stough, both of whom are strong women like those I like to portray in my books. Kim is an experienced special education teacher, now working on her doctorate degree. Bethany is a full-­time emergency room nurse with plans to further her education, as well. How these two manage to do the work they do, and excel, at the same time raising a family, is beyond me. I am so proud of them. They make me work harder with my books to keep up with the high bar they set for women.
