There were some characters and issues I planned on when I started the
series. Victoria was one of them. I only changed her name after that,
not what she does, or what happens to her. Please remember, she isn't
you. But, if you do feel related to her, I can tell you, without
spoiling the suspense and surprises, she has a continuing significant
impact on Stevie's entire life, in more than one way. Even XXXXX XXXX
XXXXX XXXXX. Oh, I can't tell you that. LOL
