Because this book was originally born out of a desire to contribute something to the world, we will be donating a percentage of every book sold to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.  The Boys & Girls Clubs enable young people, especially those in need, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens.

            
The Boys & Girls Clubs provide a safe place to learn and grow; ongoing relationships with caring, adult professionals; life-enhancing programs and character development experiences; and hope and opportunity for children.  For more information, please visit their Web site at www.bgca.org.

            
It is our hope that everyone who reads this book will find at least one story that changes their life in a positive way.  It is our intention that our readers will benefit and the world will benefit as well.
