Author's Note

Hey y'all!

Welcome to Riverside. This book pays homage to my own small town, filled with drama, late night talks in the only place open in town, and of course, those Friday night lights.

It also pays homage to something real, and as the story gets going, I warn you that it'll go to some dark places. 

But don't we all, sometimes? What matters is how we come out on the other side...and the journey we take to get there. 

I hope you enjoy reading Vera and the gang's journey as much I enjoy writing it.
