Author’s Note
The settings in this story are Sugar Land and Galveston, Texas. Sugar Land is not large enough to accommodate a ranch the size of the one I have given the Cortland family. However, using writer’s license, I liked the name of Sugar Land and chose to use it. The characters are entirely fictional and do not represent anyone living or dead.
Although I was born and raised in Virginia, and retired to Florida, I have traveled extensively in Texas and love the history of the state. I hope the good people of Texas will accept my story and my high regard of the state and of them.

My heart felt thanks to Heather Pasat of the City of Sugar Land, Texas for giving so much of her time to help a stranger in my research about local floral, trees and land area.
A sincere thank you to Alicia of the Galveston Chamber of Commerce for helping me obtain a city map and giving me information about residences.
Deep appreciation for the fact that I have two of the best sisters in the world who encourage me regardless of my idiosyncrasies.
Thank you Ellen and Bonnie. Also I have the best daughter in the world who thinks her mother is a winner at whatever I attempt. Verta
