Dedication

Special thanks to my editor, Tiffany, and to the wonderful ladies at Resplendence Publishing. Thanks for enjoying the lamp stories as much as I’ve loved writing them. Special thanks to CAS, my rock.

This book is for every person who has ever received an unkind word from anyone else, which means, it’s for everyone. I hope that it makes you stop, and think, and know that not everyone is intentionally evil. They have faced battles, too, and while it doesn’t excuse their actions, it should make it easier for you to accept. We should all learn to love ourselves for who we are and what we are, and not as others want us to be.
