I dont think I have ever respected my husband more than watching him fight for his professional survival; lie needed to master the computer information and skill. Each night I hated to hear him suffer, slamming books down and talking to himself in reprimands. I didnt know him when he was young, in college at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pa., so many years earlier, but I was awestruck by his drive and persistence! at the peak of his career. I never saw him give up on anything he wanted! This is a book I NEVER PLANNED TO WRITE! My husband died on July 9 2005. 1 bring this book into publication now as a lasting tribute to his determination! I know he is applauding me! And thats enough, right there for me. DESERT QUEEN IS OUR LOVESTORY! I hope you enjoy my heart. Ive left it on every page for you! Embrace me please! Know that I want to love you back! Each and every one of you! Reclaim your spirit! Pick up your unfinished dreams and never, never quit! DIAMONDS AND ROSES!
