Book Description
Being born on Friday the 13thunlucky for some? It was for Lizzie. Orphaned at ten was just the beginning. And when fate threw in the added tragedies of further deaths, thwarted loves, and mishaps in her nursing career, it only served to give credence to Lizzies long-held superstition regarding her unlucky birth date. However, with tenacity and fortitude as tools for survival, she was to realize that if any of her objectives in life were to be met, it could only happen through belief in herself and not in destiny.
