I need to thank my editors, Nancy Buscher for her help in developing the characters in the story and Clarissa Thomasson for her careful proof editing.

My father instilled in me a love of my Irish heritage and the history of our family. I will be forever thankful.

Several more friends and relatives supplied me with information in the writing of this novel including the Newton fire department and the Newton police force. I learned so much about the ’Lake’ and its unique place in the history of the area.

You are all appreciated.
