Destiny was a normal 14 year old girl, except for the fact that she NEVER knew her dad. He left Mrs.Spiker (Destiny's mom) when Destiny was born. So to help pay for everything Mrs.Spiker had to work extra hours at the hospital, but Destiny was fine with it she would just go to her friend Al's house. Then Al moved to NYC so Destiny just stayed home. But through it all, Destiny was a happy healthy girl, oh and she's totally obsessed with Goosebumps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
