ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

First and foremost, there are some I want to thank those who, for one reason or another, cannot be named here.  Some of those choices were theirs, some were mine.  Know that your secrets are safe with me.

Dick and Cici Landis read this initially and made important contributions, as did my daughter, Erin Morgan.

Paul Andrews helped me envision some key characters and dialogue.

My proofreaders, Cynthia Schnereger. Russ Bales, Cherie LaPorte, and Sandy Barrow saved many a disastrous error. I’m sure there are more errors that I have not yet corrected.

Flora Jessop shaped this manuscript simply through my contact with her and her passion for the Child Brides.

You will recognize Ed Decker in the story; his insight continues to inspire me.

Members of the Through the Maze Newsletter family have followed the development of this project and have contributed to its completion. My family and friends have put up with the laborious creation of this book, in some cases stretching their patience. Thanks for hanging in there.
