This book is dedicated to my Groban Girls:

Laurie Peplinski, Debbie Greathouse and Angela

Chisholm. We’ve known each other for more than

half of our lives and have seen each other through

boyfriends, heartbreaks, marriages, kids, divorces

and sicknesses. I know that all I need to do is pick up

my phone and call if I need something, and you’d be

there for me. And also to Lindsay Kosinski, with whom

I can spend three hours sharing a meal and it feels like

only minutes because there’s so much to talk about.

These friendships have been such blessings to me.

Now when’s the next Girls’ Night Out???
