Dedication

I dedicate this story to my critique partner

and best friend, Mary Ann Clark.

Her guidance and candid observations help me to see

the forest through the trees.

She pushes me to be the best I can be,

and I will be forever grateful.

I would also like to thank “the other Donna,”

Donna Michaels,

for her help with polishing this story.

I hope we’ll have many more years of fun and adventure

at The Wild Rose Press.
