ISBN: ISBN-13: DEDICATION I dedicate this book to my family and friends. This includes, not only my human family, but my canine and feline family. My service dog, Darcy, is an amazing part of my life, and he entered my life after I published my first book. Not only does he work for me, he brings me love, laughter, and comfort. The photo on the cover is Darcy, my handsome boy. My feline daughters, Smoo, Salem, Lizzy, and Autumn, have brought me years of love, laughter and tears. The bond we share is beyond words. I also have 4 grandpuppies (Sadie, Nyx, Honey and Zero) who are dear to me, as is my grandkitty, Callie. They are just as much a part of my family as the humans I love. Thank you, my furry babies, for all you do and what you have brought to my life. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am grateful for the information I was able to research from websites such as Wikipedia to create some of the characters in this story. This is a work of historical fiction. Though some of the characters are real figures from history, the plot and all actions of the characters are entirely fictional.
