"Elizabeth, my dear daughter you will one day become a great wife to a fearless and powerful man" proclaimed a gravely ill woman on her deathbed speaking to a young girl. The gravely ill woman is Elizabeth's mother and the young girl is Elizabeth. "Mommy please don't leave me i am just but a young girl" cried out Elizabeth as she saw her mom draw her final breath. Young Elizabeth is now an orphan. Her father passed away from a terrible car accident 5 years earlier and now her mother is gone. She is left to care for herself with no next of kin being near her to take her in. She endured very hot summers and very harsh winters, scrounging around for food and shelter. She hopped from shelter to shelter during the winters to keep herself warm and while in those shelters after crying and grieving, she began to wonder what her mother meant when she said "You will one day become a great wife to a fearless and powerful man".
