Ghanaian
nurse Aurora ‘Ora’ Aikins never expected to find the love of her life while on
vacation in South Africa. Engaged to another and believing that love has no
place in her life, she returns to Ghana, and puts duty and honor first.
Three
years later, Dr. Jason Lartey still can’t get Ora out of his mind or his heart.
After learning she never married, he takes a risk and moves to Ghana hoping to
rekindle what they started. His sudden appearance in Ora’s Emergency Department
sends sparks flying all over again.
They’re
in the same country, working in the same hospital, and together but distance
creeps between them. Can they make their destined love one for the
ages?
African romance is such a new genre for me but with
a few up and coming authors and their books, I'm enjoying reading African
fiction that is light and uplifting as well as emotional and intense.
Midwife to Destiny is set in Ghana although the
story starts out in South Africa. Ora is on holiday where an injury means she
ends up in hospital and meets the Jason. Their attraction is immediate and
builds as they spend time together outside the hospital, and they start falling
in love.
But real life intrudes and Ora has a fiancé in Ghana
whom she returns to, although she doesn't love him. Fast forward to the present
and Jason shows up at the hospital Ora works in. Ora is not married and Jason
is single. You would think there would be no barriers to their getting
together.
Wrong. Ora's past and emotional hang-ups are a major
barrier to their having a happy ending. How does it get resolved? Read it to find out.
This story is sweet and funny in places. The
author's writing style is both descriptive and humorous. The story moved along
at a pretty even pace and had a chick-lit feel with echoes of Dorothy Koomson.
Ms Prah brings sweet, light and frothy to African romance
and just like my favourite cappuccino drink, I loved it.
