I have dreamt of this book for ten years. The sequence of events that led to my book contract earlier this year is as magical as the love story itself (I will tell it in the book). Of course, any gift in support of the book is appreciated, however, I’ve created a few special categories for those willing and capable of making a larger gift. Each level comes with an added bonus.

As soon as I reach $25K in support, I can begin the manuscript process. I’d like to hit this level as quickly as possible, so Greenleaf, my publisher, can assign an editor, and we can get to work! I’d love to hit my total goal of $50K by October 21, 2024, which marks the 10th anniversary of Maureen’s passing from metastatic breast cancer. The current plan with Greenleaf is to release the book on July 14, 2025, which will mark our 35th wedding anniversary.
