Dedication

For those who don’t fit the standard of beauty and

those whom others consider beasts.

Acknowledgments

I thank…

God for the many blessings he bestows on me.

My husband for his continued support and being my

inspiration to write this novel.

My family—especially my parents (Aaron and Mary

Hodges), Ma (Dora Bey), Monique Bey and my sister in

church Janis Grey. I’m a shy person, but they all made sure

EVERYONE whose attention they could grab knew about

my debut novel Caught Up.

Angelique Justin, for having enough faith in me to cre-

ate heroes and heroines that don’t fit the typical romance

mold.

Sidney Rickman, my editor, for keeping me from los-

ing the reader in Neverneverland (SMILE).

Last, but not least, my readers. I truly appreciate you.

nourishment.

Please

Lord,

please.

Save

beauty.
