To Dance with the Devil

First, and always, we dedicate this book to our families, particularly Cathy’s husband, Don, and Cie’s son, James. But during the writing of this book, Cie’s father, also James, died. So this book is especially dedicated to him, and to Cie’s mother, Mary Frances, for her love and care for the family in good times and bad, in sickness and in health. Cie says, “I love you both, always and forever, and am more grateful than I can say for the privilege of having been brought up by you.”

If you dance with the devil, you’re bound to get burned.
