I’m grateful to the Catholic Community of St. Ann, Spokane, Washington, for nurturing women’s gifts, calling them forth, and supporting them and me during the gestating years of this book. Always grateful for the love and support of my family and friends, Mom and Dad (Iron Workers Union Local #505), Mike, Brandon, Clarice, Monica, and Dylan.
