To my Leeki-Leek, what a deep joy to have you in my life. I’m so grateful to God that He brought you to me. You fulfill me more than words can say. To my darling Dana, thank you for shining your light around me. It was destiny that our paths crossed. I love you. To Dana’s parents, thank you for taking me in and making me one of your own. It’s nice to have a family close to me again. Especially to my granny, who was there every inch of the way. I love you more than you can know. To Christy Fletcher and her associates at the Carol Mann Agency, for being the most trustworthy, loyal, and dedicated agents I’ve ever had. To everyone at William Morrow, and especially Betty Kelly, who really understood and believed in my vision and made this book her baby, too. To Cathy Miller, who while trying to get into my mind almost lost her own. Thank you for all your hard work and effort. To Tyrone Barrington, for always taking care of me and supporting me through all this. To my right hand, Sabrina Cervoni, I can’t function without you.
