(

Olivia Wallace has a birthday curse . . . or so she thinks. It was a broken heart on her 16^th, a car accident on her 21^st, pneumonia on her 30^th, and a fall down a flight of stairs on her 35^th. 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 she?d dreaded ever since losing her mom so many years ago'she was diagnosed with stage-3 ovarian cancer. The doctors didn?t hold out a lot of hope, but Liv survived and maintained her faith. Months of surgeries and chemotherapy and radiation treatments followed.

�

But now, as her 50^th birthday creeps up the icy Ohio path toward her, her hair has grown back, her energy level is up, and she is officially cancer free.�It makes her nervous. After everything she's gone through, Liv hates the idea of driving on icy roads and returning to work as an O.R. nurse in a local Cincinnati hospital.

Her best friend Hallie knows just the thing to break Liv out of the winter doldrums, while providing a safe haven of warmth, sunshine, and a time to regroup:�a holiday in the Florida sunshine!
