- About the Author
To the rest of my extended family in Hawaii. To Aunt Jan who tapped my head and said, “What goes on in there?” after reading one of my books. To Uncle Larry, who always has the best nicknames. To Josh, Tina, and their families—I love you guys.
Finally, a special thank-you to my readers. I hope you enjoyed Lulu’s story!
