Day of the Cheetah

Dedication

Day of the Cheetah is dedicated to two very special people who helped me over the years.

To my grandmother, Ruby Normandin, for her warmth and vitality, her charm and humor, for her patience when I was little, and her pride now that I’m not so little. I’m happy to let the whole world know what kind of person you are and how much I love you.

To my uncle, Leo Brown, a very special dedication. I took a lot of your time, your talent, and your patience — I even took your name. I wish I had taken the time to say Thank You.
