Book
Blurb:
Atlanta plastic surgeon Charles Stafford is giving up his
successful practice to volunteer his services in Nigeria with a medical
organization. Even though he’s excited about this major career move, he has no
idea how much his life is about to change.
Nurse Adanna Okoro is one of the six medical professionals
working at a small village hospital thirty minutes outside of Lagos, Nigeria.
She loves her job and is devoted to the people she serves. When the hospital is
notified that it has been chosen to host a team of foreign doctors, Adanna
meets the man she has always dreamed of.
EXCERPT #1
Femi arrived home before Adanna, and delicious aromas filled the flat when she dragged in around seven o’clock. The best part was, Femi loved to cook and always had dinner for her. Unfortunately, being the consummate social butterfly, she offered an open invitation to their friends too. She loved to feed people, and their friends loved to eat. Tonight was no different.
“Hello, people,” Adanna greeted their
friends as she entered the flat.
“Hard day today?” Femi asked as she put
a cold Coca-Cola into her hand.
“Always, but I got to deliver a baby, a
fat, healthy little girl.”
Everyone in the room applauded, and
Adanna took a bow. “Sorry to be anti-social, but I’m exhausted. I’m going to
eat and go to sleep.”
“You need a husband, so you don’t have
to work so hard,” one of their male friends said with a cheeky grin.
Adanna laughed. “Having a husband is
just more work. Good night,
Emmanuel.” He was probably right, but since she worked all the time, her social
life was virtually non-existent. She hadn’t been on anything resembling a date
in a year, and her interest in dating had waned. She wanted an educated man who
was devoted to her alone and who understood her commitment to her job.
Unfortunately, she’d never met anyone who fit those criteria. All of the
opposite sex, with whom she associated, were either married medical men or single
men with a player mentality she couldn’t stand. So, she remained unattached.
Adanna wasn’t discontented with her life, because her work was so much more
fulfilling than she imagined staying at home and changing diapers could ever
be.
Yeah, when women are single, like Adanna is, we consume our time with work, until Mr. Right comes along. Lovely excerpt.
