Dedication

For my patient, encouraging, hilarious family. I am blessed to love and be loved by you. With loving thanks to Anita Mae Draper, Debra E. Marvin, and Gina Welborn for their friendship and gracious help when I wrote this story.

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father …. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
MATTHEW 10:29, 31 ASV

In for a penny, in for a pound.
