Dedication

To Mr. Wise's parents, Rudy and Josephine Wise—gone, but never forgotten.

To Mr. Wise's daughters, Reagan and Riley. Without your support, I could not have written this book.

To Ms. Wooten's husband, Louie. Our partnership has enabled me to do many things I could not do alone. And to our daughter, Linden, whose love and laughter gave me the energy I needed to power through the long hours it took to complete this book.

To Ms. Di Troia's husband, Ethan, for endlessly supporting me in many new endeavors, including this book, and to our daughter, Elise, for occasionally allowing me to work on this book between playtimes.
