All praise is due to the Creator. I thank him for always coming through for me in time, on time, and for all my ups and downs. To all my kids, always know that Daddy loves you no matter what. To my brothers, I love you all. My mom, thanks for having me. I love you. To my adoptive parent, thanks so much for keeping us all in church. It really helped. To my foster family, I will always love you all no matter what, and we are still family. Special thanks to all the book clubs, bookstores, and vendors who are always on their grind. And I’m saving the most important thanks for last—my readers. You are the best. I really do appreciate all the love and support. This one is for you. This book is dedicated to my childhood—my struggles made me who I am today.
