Acknowledgments

Thank you, Rick, for believing in me. Thank you to my children (Giulia and Antonio), and my beautiful family (Daniel, Samantha, Luca, Lia and Mila).  I want to thank all my readers for allowing my dream to write to come true.  You have all been my inspiration and whose consistent support and optimism helped make this dream a reality.

                Thank you, Julie, for the beautiful book jacket.  Your hard work and extreme patience is greatly appreciated. I love all the little things you do to encourage me along the way.

To Laurie, my social media expert extraordinaire; whose patience, hard work, persistence, opinions, honesty, and intelligence many times inspired me. 

I am blessed to have you all on this journey with me.
