An Ode to Sherri

Comedian Bill Kilpatrick writes this open love letter to his wife, Sherri, who has been his muse and his mate for 32 years. He walks us through an odyssey that started in his childhood - with dreams of his wife - that culminated in a whirlwind romance. A born romantic, Bill popped the question on his fifth date in five days but it was Sherri who led the way as the two crossed a continent to find each other and build a home in Florida. Weathering hurricanes, tornadoes, death, hardships and career changes, these two found a way to stay together. This is a book for anyone who believes in the redemptive power of love and the soothing winterfresh taste of Bill's halfwit sense of humor. If you like good comedy, this is not the book for you. But if you like good love - because we all like good love - you can't afford not to read this book. This book will not cure every disease, but if you're suffering from a disease called loneliness, it will definitely point the way to better books.
