This book is dedicated to my husband, Mr. Okey Ikpeze, and our four wonderful children: Obidi, Chuka, Adaobi, and Chiamaka. Your unflinching love, support, and encouragement were a huge source of inspiration. You are my biggest cheerleaders and the reason my life is meaningful. Thank you for believing in me. I want to also thank Barbara Zinker, a dear family friend, for her enthusiasm and support.
