To The British Empire for creating the backdrop of poverty my family was born into and endured.

To Dad, Clarence, who taught me how to escape that poverty, be strong whilst doing it and for instilling discipline—with and without the lash.

To Mommie, Alexandrina Emeline, a mother’s mother and my first teacher whose words were always future tense and full of possibilities. Thank you for raising me to believe I could do anything. Thank you for encouraging me to write this book and the current ones. They are real to you even when they weren’t.

To Loyola Marymount University for giving me a quality, Jesuit education.
