A Dedication to My Mom

I dedicated A Family Affair: The List to my mom, the woman who gave me life and helped shape me into the person I am—my mother. (Read the complete dedication below.)

A Family Affair: The List is the first book I’ve completed since Mom’s passing last October 2020. When I was writing a book, Mom would often ask me about the characters and comment on the continuing saga. She absolutely loved Harry Bla

They did because for all the pain and heartache children brough, they gave back equal amounts of pure, limmitless joy.”
