Scripture quotations are from the King James Version of the Bible.

This is a work of historical reconstruction; the appearances of certain historical figures are therefore inevitable. All other characters, however, are products of the author’s imagination, and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is coincidental.

To my childhood friends,
Brittney, Jennifer, Melissa, Elisa, Christy, Lisa.
We traveled many years together, grew together, became who we are together. And though now we’ve drifted apart, nothing can ever change the memories forged in the innocence of childhood. That’s a magic no amount of time can ever erase.
