Dedication from Donna:
This book is dedicated to all firefighters, first responders, and EMTs. The services these brave individuals provide are invaluable.
This book is also dedicated to all children who are differently abled, either physically or neurologically. After sustaining a brain injury, I understand the struggles my students went through each day better than ever.
This is for all the heroes who never give up! I want to thank everyone, including family, friends, and therapists, for their support on this continuing journey.
We may make mistakes, but we continue to rise.
