This novel is dedicated to my husband, Steve, as well as my mother, Guylaine, and father, Paul, who taught me to never surrender and never quit. I want to say thank you to W. Terry Whalin, who took the time to listen to my pitch and took a chance on a never published author. And finally, a big thank you to Angie Kiesling at SplitSeed and fiction publisher for Morgan James Publishing, for her great editing work.
