I Would Also Like To Express My Appreciation To My Mother And Father For, No Matter How Inadvertently, Giving Me Such A Memorable Childhood. Additionally, I Would Like To Thank The Real-life Members Of The Family Portrayed In This Book For Taking Me Into Their Home And Accepting Me As One Of Their Own. I Recognize That Their Memories Of The Events Described In This Book Are Different Than My Own. They Are Each Fine, Decent, And Hard-working People. The Book Was Not Intended To Hurt The Family. Both My Publisher And I Regret Any Unintentional Harm Resulting From The Publishing And Marketing Of Running With Scissors. Most Of All, I Would Like To Thank My Brother For Demonstrating, By Example, The Importance Of Being Wholly Unique.
