My apologies to the innocent people who were unintentionally drawn into my story.
At first, when I began writing, I intended to change certain details so that too many people would not be affected. However, for several reasons-and because I eventually felt that it was not particularly important-I decided to keep the original story as it was.
This is a true story, and the people in it are real. At the time these events took place, I did not know many people. So when the young man in this story appeared, I immediately made the connection and began to write.
I borrowed that young man, and that ideal family, to give voice to the things I wanted to say...
