Book Inspiration
To be truthful, I was as surprised with the ending of this book as the readers might be. I wasn't sure how it would come out as the story developed. But I was glad everyone learned valuable and eternal lessons that can help you and me as well. The characters are all modeled after people I have known, but I won't say who, except for what I wrote in the dedication.
