To those who have changed everything in their life, including much of what they thought they knew.
To those who feel compelled to live their life in a way that often makes them the object of ridicule and scorn.
To those who hide their fears and tears from their tenderhearted spouse or children.
I dedicate this book to all of you who are living a life you never hoped or asked for, but chose it anyway because you know that freedom is worth standing for.
I admire you, love you, and pray that history will remember your name.
