To Vinny. I’m so glad you are who you are—a kind, wonderful human being. There is no greater joy for a mother than to know her child’s heart is in good hands. Welcome to the family, and thank you for showing you care about me, too. I’m so touched by the support you have offered me in reading my books, participating in Brenda Novak’s Book Group on Facebook, helping with the monthly Brenda Novak’s Book Boxes (and sometimes the meetings, too!), coming to my book signings, searching each store you visit to see if they carry my books and contributing in so many ways to our family gatherings.
