The Big 5-Oh! eBook

There were Ohio blizzards on her 38^th, 39^th, and 40^th; and six days before her 45^th, she lost the love of her life to a heart attack. Numbing grief stole that birthday and a couple more to follow and, on the morning of her 48^th birthday, she received the call shed dreaded ever since losing her mom so many years agoshe was diagnosed with stage-3 ovarian cancer. The doctors didnt hold out a lot of hope, but Liv survived and maintained her faith. Months of surgeries and chemotherapy and radiation treatments followed.
