Оглавление

This book is dedicated to my sister and my two brothers. Growing up on a farm in small town Alabama, we didn’t have video games or tablets or cell phones. We had one television for the family that received three local channels. So we spent a lot of time reading books and creating our own entertainment. My sister, Mary Ann, was the caretaker when my parents were out working the farm. She was like a second mother and is a very talented singer and songwriter. She kept us entertained with her beautiful voice and her happy laughter, and our bellies full with her good cooking. My elder brother, Eddie, was the artist and the storyteller. His stories were always Hitchcockian and kept my younger brother and I scared of our own shadows. Johnny, my younger brother by two years, was my true partner in crime. We explored the farm and beyond, climbed trees and turned towels into superhero capes to see if we could fly off the smokehouse roof. We pretended to be superheroes and cops and robbers. Despite the ups and downs that came later in life, I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family. I love you all, and thank you so very much for inspiring me.
