Whirlwind Affair

This book is dedicated with my love and admiration to Jeannie Pierannunzi for showing me what courage and strength and facing down fears is all about. And for reminding me that every day is a gift to be cherished. Jeannie, it is an honor to be your friend.

And, as always, to my wonderful,

supportive husband Joe- the man of my whirlwind dreams; and my incredible, makes-me-so-proud son, Christopher, aka Whirlwind Junior.
