Présentation de l'éditeur

Sweetheart: You laughed because I wouldnt change her name, because I insisted on calling her Kirby Rowland. But if I wanted to draw you, as well as my poor pen might, I saw no reason why I should not, by my heroines name, tell my readers that you were her model. And so the name was kept, the name so like your own. But, oh, my dear, I have fallen so far short. One can not, after all, describe the heart. And the you I love is not just the memory of your lovely face, your brave eyes, your merry smile it is the heart of you, the soul of you, that has not gone, that is so near me now.
