This book is dedicated to the courageous and loving women upon whose shoulders I stand:
My mother, Imogene Scroggins Sandella, who married at age nineteen, finished college at fifty, and as a creative administrator into her sixties, saved our small-town hospital when most were failing. She taught me you're never too young or too old to make a difference. At eighty-seven, she continues to be a loving presence.
My paternal grandmother “Nona,” Filomena Torchia Sandella, who traveled solo from Paterno, Italy, to the United States at sixteen, married and birthed eleven children, raising the surviving seven in a house absent indoor plumbing. Unable to read or write, she inspires me as a living example of the commonsense wisdom in each of us, regardless of education and wealth.
