I picked this book up because I am a sucker for an unusual title.

The Fortuna family agrees that Stella definitely died 7 times. They disagree on whether or not to count drowning at sea. This is the story that takes you from the time of Stella's birth in a remote Italian mountain village shortly after World War I until her later years as a widow in the north eastern United States. Over the course of her life, Stella has had many blessings, but she has also faced many hardships - including her deaths.

Trigger warning: rape, domestic violence
