ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

A special thank-you to Angela Whitener, supervisory coordinator and administrator at James A. Haley Veterans’ Hospital in Tampa for her information on Traumatic Brain Injuries.

A giant thanks to my dear friend Julie Palella, a law professional who wrote a Child Protective Plan for my character, David Olson. The information in it was invaluable.

A heartfelt thanks to my editor, Charlotte Herscher, who helped make this story what it is now.

Thanks to my supportive family, who never let me go hungry or without coffee during the long hours of writing and edits.

Ellis Jones, web designer extraordinaire, thank you so much for building my new website. It’s incredible, and I will likely be your biggest cheerleader for a very long time!

My deepest gratitude goes to the Johns Creek Veterans Association and the Johns Creek Memorial Walk near Atlanta. I was so honored to have my words become a small part of the memorial for our US veterans. May America never forget what our troops have paid and the hefty price they continue to pay for our freedom. God bless you.
