By Dorothy R. Roberts-Furtch

I am who I am because of Gods goodness and His loving mercy. It is, therefore, in humble gratitude that I dedicate this book to Him for all that He has done for me. Secondly, I would like to acknowledge the support of my dearest friend, my mother Mrs. Eloise Frazier-Heyward who has stuck by and supported me throughout my entire life. Momma, you have been an inspiration to me and I love you dearly.

To my siblings and my entire family, thank you for believing in me!
