To find love where you least expect it..., April 20 2001

Chandra de Avenell is all woman. That is, physically she is all woman. Personality wise: she thinks like a man, fights like a man, acts like a man, dresses like a man, talks like a man, has the freedom of a man, dreams like a man, and... need I say more?
