This one got to me.From the beginning, the feelings of loss and regret can be felt. When Ora returns to Ghana after falling in love with Jason after a few short days, those feeling just seem to grow.A painful childhood plagues Aurora Aikins, and leads her to sabotage any relationships with men. Despite being separated by years and miles, Dr. Jason Lartey can't let go of the deep love he still feels for her, and seeks her out. Their reunion is bittersweet however, because Ora still avoids Jason whenever possible. Jason is determined to woo her, unaware of the pain driving her fears, leading her to resist him.After getting great advice from her savvy cousin, and clarification on the causes of her fear of commitment from her mother, Ora must admit to some truths about herself that she'd avoided for far too long if she is ever to be truly happy.I felt Ora was a strong character who maybe put too much emphasis on the opinions of others. Jason was steadfast and true. Knowing he had found the love of his life, there's was nothing he wouldn't do to be with her. Cousin Esi, a midwife, is hilarious and plays a more important part in Ora's future.Africa and some its culture and traditions are a perfect setting for this heartfelt story. I give "Midwife to Destiny" my highest recommendation.
