Nine Lives

After a carefree childhood, Maggie Kelly came of age in the shadow of grief. Her father, a pilot, died when she was nine and Maggie saw her mother struggle to put their lives back together. Her mother warned her about daredevil men and to avoid risk at all cost, so Maggie married a good, dependable man.

Now on her own, feeling a sense of adventure for the first time, Maggie decides to face her fears, setting off on a whirlwind trip from the US to Rome, Paris, London and Monaco.
