To Dawna, my second mom . . . while you were nothing like my Miss Gina, you were the one I ran to for advice and safety when I needed an adult. You will always hold a special place in my heart.
To Suzie, the cop’s daughter in the neighborhood . . . when I think back on the things you used to do to tick off your dad . . . and how much restraint he displayed by not throttling you. Those guys next door, however, were worth the risk!
To all the track and field coaches who have dedicated their knowledge and skills to my boys over the years, thank you!
To Jane, my forever agent and friend.
To Kelli and everyone at Montlake for your understanding my fire delays this year. I’m happy to have changed my original ending of . . . “And then a fire swept through River Bend and everyone died. THE END.” I think this one was better.
Now back to Andrea:
To my Andi. When I wrote the dedications to Brandy and Kari in the first two books of this series, I realized that I perhaps needed to dedicate a book to myself. Mainly because Zoe’s book so closely resembles my life. But things happen for a reason. So as I sat down to write this dedication and acknowledgment, I saw Jo standing over her father’s final resting place and pictured me standing over yours. I spent half of my working life saving lives as a nurse, partly because I wanted to save yours. But life doesn’t work that way. And when you live your life to please someone else, you aren’t living, you’re simply alive.
I miss you, my dear baby sister, and promise to live my life fully, for the both of us.
Catherine
