Book excerpt: Sometimes in life it's a good thing we don't know what's ahead. Through a series of events, Nanci Gravill lost everyone and everything in her life. It all started with breast cancer in late 2003. And as she began to recover from this Job-like experience, unable to return to her temporary teaching position, Nanci was forced to live off all of her investments and retirement money.
