Dedications
This book is dedicated to my mother and father, John and Sharon Kirkland, for all that they have done to raise me in the path of knowledge and righteousness. Also, I would like to dedicate this to my godmother, Jeryl Manns, for helping to instill a love and thirst for reading and literature. May you all rest in peace as you smile down on me!
