Pictorial History of the World War for Liberty by Thomas Herbert Russell #books #literature #dedication

DEDICATION
To the soldiers and sailors of the United States and Canada; to the men of the armies and navies of nations allied with us; to the splendid courage and devotion of American, French, British and Belgian women, who have endured in silence the pain of losses worse than death, and never faltered in works of mercy for which no thanks can ever pay; to all the agencies of good that have helped save civilization and the world from the most dreadful menace of all time, this volume is dedicated.

Growing Up Urkel: A Memoir by Jaleel White #books #literature #dedication

I dedicate this book to my daughter, Samaya. From the moment you were born, you've had people telling you who your daddy was, but only you know who I am. Never let anyone on this planet tell you who you will be. That is to be decided only by you.

The Reunion by Kayla Olson #books #literature #dedication

For all the Emilys who inspired and encouraged me while writing this book—

-Emily Bain Murphy, my friend through every mountain and valley;
-Emily McClendon, who sharpens me on and off the tennis court;
-Emily Wibberley, whose books made me fall in love with rom-coms; and
-Emily Henry, whose rom-coms made me finally decide to write one of my own

And for everyone who always
-wished for Topanga's hair;
-cheered/cried when Ross and Rachel finally had their first kiss;
and
-had Big Opinions on whether Joey should choose Dawson or Pacey in the end.

This one's for you.
