      ACKNOWLEGMENTS

      This book could not have been written if I did not have the support of:

      My mother and fiancé who have been my staunch supporters

      Wes and Ken, my neighbors in Paradise who became my support system

      Bonnie and Ken, my friends from Paradise, who now live nearby and help me through the recovery process

      Jim’s family, especially his ex-wife, who were there for Jim and I throughout the entire ordeal
