The seven or eight deaths of Stella Fortuna

This is a debut novel from American author Juliet Grames. Stella’s name means lucky star, but her life story is anything but!

Stella does indeed escape death time and time again, and so the story goes.

The story follows her life which spans the move from Italy to the US during WWII, family secrets, the estranged relationship with her sister and her father, home truths and finally answers.
