The Summer I Saved the World ... in 65 Days (24 page)

To my favorite librarians (and friends), who have been there for me in so many ways: Sherri Bolen and Susie Pasini; I am indebted to both of you. And to my wonderful circle of family and friends: you inspire me in more ways than you realize.

Finally, to my husband, Ben, and my children, Rachel, Sam, and Cassie, who support me every day by listening, counseling, keeping me grounded, and always reminding me what's most important.

To all of you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The answer to my question—does doing good really do any good—I will always hope, is a resounding and undeniable yes!
