About the Book
Destined by
Patricia Haley is the second novel in the Chosen series, inspired by the
popular biblical kings David and Solomon.
Don, the eldest son and rightful heir to the ministry, returns
from South Africa after three years of self-imposed exile. With a renewed zeal
to reclaim the leadership of his late father’s multi-million dollar ministry,
his plans are short-lived when a stock transfer agreement goes wrong, rendering
Don powerless. Don’s little brother Joel continues as CEO, careening down the
path of personal, professional, and spiritual demise, as he drags the ministry
down with him. The only hope to save their father’s legacy is Don’s
intervention, and so clinging to his self-worth and faith, Don is torn between
fighting for a company he wasn’t chosen to run and fleeing back to his South
African refuge, a place where his peace, his growing relationship with Naledi,
and his dignity aren’t in question. After much soul searching, Don comes to
realize that his destiny is inescapable and that his future lies in his
family’s legacy.
Combining spiritual themes with family tension, corporate
intrigue, and romance, this series is an exciting addition to the faith-based
fiction market.
Book Review
Patricia Haley has hit the mark yet again! In this, the sequel to Chosen, we see the continuation of the story of the sons of a modern day David and the dysfunction their father's actions brought upon their family. Don, the oldest, fled to South Africa to heal after his father chose his younger half-brother over him to run the family ministry. Now he is forced to choose between South Africa and Detroit- between keeping the peace he found overseas and returning home to answer God's call on his life.
I couldn't put this book down- the characters are believable and compelling. It's all too easy to put myself into Don's shoes, or Joel's and understand why each man does what he does. I enjoyed this immensely, and I hope there will be a third book in this series so I can see more of this family's ups and downs.
