I just finished reading "A Question of Destiny" by
Anita Higman. I believe it's her best book by far and I've read almost every
one of her reading opportunities.
What would you do if you received $10 million from someone
you never knew beforehand? Would you question accepting it or question the
motive? How would you "allow" it to change you, your values and your
relationships? Who would it bring into your life and new “available” lifestyle?
The good news is that in this book,
unlike in real life, there are a couple of people who provide guidance and
words of advice during this extreme learning curve.
I must admit to appreciating every character in this book
and their respective roles played in the difficult and for the most part fatherless
youth through the financially enriched life of Lucy, the benefactor of the
money. Lucy's bodyguard of sorts, Andy, has his own story which rings a truth similar to the media exploits of today. His story touched my heart even more than Lucy's.
There is more than one story line in this book and each adds overall
value. In fact, I am hoping for a follow-up on one of the characters in
particular who on occasion shows more heart and tenderness within her earthly wealthy
lifestyle and what appears to be a lost love and has/had volunteered in a
worthy cause.
I am not generally a
fan of romance novels but I do enjoy hers and make a point of reading them. No
vulgar language or body stripping EVER. Yes, that's the way to my reading
pleasure when it comes to any reading genre.
