Dedication

To Barbara Chevalier, the perfect friend, neighbor, surrogate grandma and fairy godmother. Thank you for always being there for us.

A special thank-you to Shannon Emmel for helping me to laugh at all the dirty jokes life played on me while this book was in progress.

Prologue

"George Washington was a wuss!"

Barbara Johnson shot a disapproving glance at her son, Matthew, then returned her attention to backing their weather-beaten Honda Civic out of the driveway. After so many years of Matt being too timid to say much of anything, she hesitated to reprimand him now that he'd begun behaving like other nine-year-old boys.

"Let me guess," she said, as if she were giving it serious thought. "Kenny gave you that bit of information."

Matt looked about ready to defend his friend, but he reconsidered. "Well, sort of. But it was in the movie we saw in class the other day."

She shot him a quizzical glance. "The Father of Our Country was called a
wuss
in an educational movie? What did your teacher say about that?"

Matt rolled his eyes over his mother's obvious teasing.
"Ma-a-aw.
They didn't use that word exactly. They just showed how when he was a kid, he liked to dance and write mushy poems. Junk like that."

"Oh, I see," Barbara said, nodding solemnly. "Girl junk."

Something on the side of the road distracted Matt. "Where did you say we're going today?"

His abrupt change of subject made her grin. He knew he had stumbled into sensitive territory where Mom was concerned. Rather than repeat her equality of the sexes speech, she answered his question.
