What Were The Chances Sylvia Rose Turner would ever find happiness. In a world where the social elite rule, what chance does a small town country girl have of succeeding, much less find love and happiness.In a small town, a resilient young girl named Sylvia Rose Turner faces challenging circumstances. She has no time to dream of white weddings, debutante balls or fairy godmothers. Instead, she must face unrelenting struggles as she quickly learns the harshness of fate. Yet, even in the face of adversity, Sylvia Rose discovers unwavering self-belief can conquer almost any obstacle life hurls her way.From a tender age, Sylvia Rose becomes intimately acquainted with the concept of sacrifice, often choosing not to eat so that her siblings may. She never loses sight of her roots, clinging to the Southern values and traditions she learns during her formative years. These qualities, among many others, contribute to the bedrock of her eventual success.Sylvia Rose’s journey through life has been arduous and, without help, would not have fared as well. She has never forgotten the debt of gratitude she owes to another, someone she has not seen in decades and once loved enough to let go. She knows a broken heart was merely a partial payment for that debt.Years pass, and Sylvia Rose now lives a comfortable life among the social elite in Cincinnati, Ohio. In her large house she sits in her cherished armchair, in the room she loves most-the parlor. Suddenly, a knock echoes on her door. Reaching for her ivory-handled cane, she rises slowly, her heart pounding as she ponders, 'Has the time finally come to pay the piper?'
