Passionate Hope

About the Book

This story is a sequel to my first book The Door to Happiness under the name of Rowena Ewart but this story based on a true story easily stands alone. Two people more than a decade apart in age suffer sadness and pain as young children. They strive passionately to live up to the goals they have set themselves. Nothing and no one will be allowed to make them stray from their ambitions. They both have a defined route to achieve their goals, but life as often happens prevents the straight line they desire. Fate seems to throw them together with the resulting clashes in personality. Aaron is a Consultant Surgeon and Jessie having worked very hard to achieve the necessary qualifications to go to Medical School to train to be a Doctor, a promise she made as a little girl to God and herself. She is prevented from being offered a place a University by the number of men being discharged from the War She is clever, feisty and fiery with a good sense of humour which sometimes gets her into trouble, but she is vulnerable with even the most innocent contact with men other than her family. Aaron is twelve years her senior, arrogant, self opinionated and sometimes downright rude. The chemistry between them is almost tangible. Aaron’s history catches up with him involving Jessie in fear, terror and injury. There are some humorous incidences amidst a cast of many people they meet along the way until Peace is declared between them.
