My mother. She lost her mother and father, and my dad and her took her four brothers and sisters in so they wouldn't be put in foster care. She works like a dog cleaning houses, took care of my dying father with me, and in her late sixties. got her degree suma cum laude in criminal justice and creative writing. Go mom!

Ellen: She is the nicest friend a girl could have, yet she's such a spitfire when you need help to fight. She has been my best friend for so long, I never want to know what it's like without her in my life.
