Agatha becomes convinced that she is the reincarnation of a lost Vestal, and she begins to have vivid dreams and visions of her past life.As Agatha becomes more obsessed with her past life, her parents become increasingly concerned. They try to intervene and steer her back towards their own beliefs, but Agatha is determined to uncover the truth about her past. She embarks on a journey to Rome, where she hopes to find evidence of her past life as a Vestal Virgin.Number Thirteen: Or The Story Of The Lost Vestal is a fascinating exploration of faith, identity, and the power of the human imagination.
