"I have two adult children, who I love dearly. I live in Southern California with my family plus my dog Dottie, our border collie, and Ms. Miles, our cat. I hope you will love this book as much as I did. There's a person behind the scenes that would take me to the Desert, National Park, and Amboy. I wouldn't have gotten the idea for this story if it wasn't for him. I love spending my time reading books when I can and love going for long drives to the desert. I put my time into it over the years and never gave up on my writing. Many nights, I would stay up and get this book done but my personal life had other plans, so I had put this book on hold and I would write a chapter or two when I got the chance to do so. This book has been a journey for me because my idea for writing this book came when I went to Joshua Tree National Park in 2012 and that's when I really began writing. The story takes place in a National Park and that's how this book got off the ground."

For Dave

Ido appreciate you for always being there, Dave. I hope you will love the book. I will make it as an audiobook as well. Thank you for taking me to Joshua Tree National Park and to the desert. You got me liking the desert now. I will always treasure the moments when we would always go out there. We have accomplished this together because you were involved in the writing process by taking me to both places.

To my kids

Thank you for driving me crazy and keeping me on my toes at all times. You both are my life and I want to thank you as well because you have shown me that we can have fun and enjoy what we have accomplished together.

I love you all and I wouldn’t have done this book without you by my side.

When Misty got home, she heard the answering machine beep for a little bit but she was tired from work. She had her purse and backpack on her so she put the bags down on the couch and walked over to the kitchen counter to see who called. Misty pushed the button. " Hey, Misty, its Hayley! Well, I
