To my beautiful “pretties,” Doughgirl, with whom I found many locations . . . my grandparents, who taught me life is learned through film . . . the entire movie industry and the timeless efforts that goes into making movies . . . editors such as Jared Nelson and publishers such as Jeff Ruetsche at Arcadia Publishing, who grant the first opportunity and a dream come true for authors with a passion to write. Lastly, I humbly dedicate this work to a talented, hard-working actress from Brooklyn. She cherished filming, was always on time to set, and was born by the name of Ruby Stevens. She now rests in peace forever among the beauty of the Alabama Hills.
