Question Number 10

Santa Margherita?
No. She's a well-loved Saint because she persevered in the face of adversity (following the death of the noble with whom she lived, in the mid 1200s, his family threw her and their child out and her parents refused to take them in). Rather than bemoan her fate she joined the Franciscans and became renowned as a healer.
