DedicationTo my former teachers who saw potential in students like me and encouraged them to chase their dreams. I’d like especially to dedicate this book to Ms. Sanders, who helped her classes fall in love with reading and writing. Thank you for making me feel like writing for an audience was something I could do.
Also, to my brother, Brandon. God is in charge. I will continue to have faith in miracles.
AcknowledgementsThanks again to my editor, Teresa, who comes through even when life gets crazy. Also, I have to thank my hero hubby, who, almost twenty-two years ago, said he’d help me chase my dreams. No doubt, it’s been challenging, but he still comes through every time. He is my best friend and the love of my life. My very own, real-life hero.
