For my two editors sent from God to nurture and protect the gift He loaned me at my birth: For Phoebe Yeh, who began my journey with me and ran alongside me until my hand was safely planted in Joyce’s.

And for Joyce M. Dinkins, who listened and heard what He intended for me to bring to all children.

And for the children, both happy and suffering: God wants you to SHOUT for JOY, for JOY will come in the morning!
