Produktbeschreibung

Upon completing her higher education by age sixteen, Angie Aranyi considers herself a fortunate person. She was selected for a good job, and she was engaged to Andy, the former soldier whom she met in the village where she spent her summers. The only thing missing from Angies happy life was the wedding date that Andy was reluctant to set. After a long engagement the unthinkable happens, and Angies world as she knew it was shattered. Because of an unexpected job offer in another city, she encounters not only challenges at work but also a possible new romance in the person of Captain Attila Bartha, an officer with a reputation that Angie could or would not ignore. Lacking a social life, Angie buries herself in her work, but loneliness becomes a shadow over Angie in her private life. When she was least expecting it, someone from her past reappears, and long-hidden and suppressed feelings reemerge. Is the man two decades older than her the one true love that she was waiting and craving for? After a devastating incident, Angie wonders if her love for Viktor is strong enough to lift him out of his subsequent depression. Her decision about Viktor becomes more complicated when Captain Mark Hegyes, still dashing and still very much in love with Angie, reappears at the academy. Once again, Angie finds herself at the crossroads of life-altering decisions.

Autorenporträt

I came into this troubled world during the early morning hours of June 17, 1950, in the city of Budapest, Hungary. I was the first and last child of my forty-one-year-old mother, and my father was forty-five years old at the time of my birth. As I did not know any better, I could not possibly understand that we were living in poverty as I was growing up with loving parents, and there was always a bite to eat. My childhood was poor and saddened with tragedies. As a six-year-old child, I witnessed the bloody 1956 revolution and received the first taste of true prejudice by those of whom I thought liked us yet turned against my family. That tragedy did not match the untimely death of my beloved father when I was not yet seven years old on February 14, 1957. My mother remarried in 1959, and our financial situation was upgraded from poverty to poor. After finishing elementary school, I made a decision to earn money as soon as possible to ease our financial situation, and I enrolled in a two-year business college (high school diploma was not required). I began working as a sixteen-year-old certified secretary/bookkeeper. During the same period, I began my high school education, which I completed while working full-time and attending night school. I discovered my love for writing when I was eleven years old after a movie that my childhood friend and I saw in the movie theater. We were not pleased with the ending, and Steven suggested that I should write a different ending that we both liked. Voila! A writer was born. With my family's encouragement, I entered a writing contest given by a youth-oriented magazine, and to my genuine surprise, I won second prize. My desire to live in a free country and to improve my life was so great that in 1972, leaving everything (including my aging parents) behind, I managed to escape from Hungary during a tour to Austria (then), Yugoslavia, and Italy. I spent almost ten long months in a rat-infested refugee camp located Capua, Italy, while I waited for official permission to immigrate to the country of my dreams, the USA. In 1975, I met and married a wonderful man, my husband, Guy. Thanks to his everlasting patience, he assisted me in my task of learning the English language. He is truly my partner for life, and I remain forever grateful to him for standing by me in some tough times. It is difficult for me to describe my love for writing. I cannot think of a bigger emotional joy for an author than to see a published novel in somebody's hand and to see a story come alive on the screen. I yearn to experience that joy.
