Dedication

Without these two wonderful women,
my stories and the happiness I’ve found in writing
wouldn’t exist:

To Dorothy Lindsay and Cherie Evans Lyon.

And as always, I remain thankful for the women who
have supported me through school and cancer,
sloth and indecision, ennui and everything else:

To Angela Gabriel, Carol Lindsay-Richards,
Khaulah Naima Nuruddin, Sheree L. Greer,
Kimberly Kaye Terry.

Thank you
