But when tragedy struck Nita at the age of thirteen and her sister and father were taken from her in a car accident, she wondered if there was anything left to believe in. Personally decimated, her already fractured life came apart at the seams. Nitas motherwho also nearly died from the accidentfloundered with depression and loss.
