Note to Readers:
In recounting the events in this memoir,
chronologies have been
compressed or altered and details have
been changed to assist the narrative.
Where dialogue appears, the intention
was to re-create the essence of
conversations rather than verbatim
quotes. Names and identifying
characteristics of some individuals have
been changed.
