But when Wiz’s ex-husband decides he deserves what Wiz earned after he left, Tom and his dad work together to provide support and protection against her ex—and his friends, who not only want her money, but revenge. Can Wiz and Tom overcome their pasts to forge a new future, together?

This collection of essays presents new insights into what shaped and constituted the Renaissance and early modern views of fate and fortune.
