In this book, there is a somewhat convenient solution to the emotional challenges Isabelle Templeton faces. This is, however, a work of fiction. I encourage anyone with similar challenges to reach out to someone capable and qualified to assist them. It is always okay to ask for help. Please do so if you or your family feel you need it.
Also note that I somewhat reinvented the NYPD Major Case Squad for the purpose of this book.
My sincerest thanks to the team at Bold Strokes Books—Len Barot, Sandy Lowe, and Cindy Cresap in particular—for their patience, guidance and expertise. It is much appreciated.
