Dedication
I OWE AN ENORMOUS DEBT OF GRATITUDE to every character portrayed in this novel, real or imagined.
TO MY YOUNGER SELVES, Twelve-year-old Petra, Simone and Victorianna, thank you for holding my memories until I became strong enough to reclaim them.
TO MY MONSTERS, Georgie and The Hound, thank you for protecting me even when it resulted in emotional pain, ill-health and loss.
TO MY HANDLERS, Buddy and Val, thank you for believing in me and always having my back.
TO MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY, thank you for being there through “the best of times and the worst of times.”
