Dear Reader,

When we’re kids, we dream of being all kinds of things when we grow up—from president of the United States to the scientist who cures cancer, from being an Oscar-winning actress to being a major trendsetter.

Then we grow up. We don’t stop dreaming, but we learn some realism, and give up the dreams that we know are just too impossible.

I’m a believer that good people should get what’s coming to them. Maybe the meek and gentle don’t always inherit the earth, but darn it, there should be some payback for all the people who wake up every morning just trying to be good people, good lovers, good parents, good friends.

It ticks me off mightily when this doesn’t happen.

So I created this story…about two women who’d put on their realistic grown-up lives and never gave their old dreams another thought. About two women who keep getting put down for having extraordinarily good hearts. About two women who deserve a lot more than jewels and gems.

But after I gave them the jewels, I tried to give them something else. Something that mattered a lot more.

I hope you like this story!

All my best,

Jennifer Greene
