"The Edge of Sadness" is the original title of this altered book. Even though the book ended up being a "techniques book", I realized I was subconsciously keeping my work relevant to the title. I still miss my mother and grandparents; even though they have been gone for a long time, they have become a big part of this book.

This page is the first page in "The Edge of Sadness". It is a photo of me and my mother on the farm in Minnesota where I was raised, until age 11. IThere are several pages of my mother in this book as she died suddenly when I was 14 and the sadness of those years has never left me.
