An inspiring novel of hope, courage, and a woman's will to overcome adversity.
Set in the early 1900s, Forever Determined follows the journey of Pauline Roka. Growing up with an alcoholic father and progressive mother, Pauline’s life is suddenly turned upside down when she is placed in an orphanage with her younger sister at the tender age of eight years old.
Under the disciplined care and enduring faith of the Sisters of Intention, Pauline is sheltered from the harsh realities of a world beyond the orphanage walls. When she leaves as a teenager to follow her lifelong dream of becoming a nurse, she faces heartless truths that threaten to shatter her aspirations once and for all.
With a deep-set determination and fiery will, she catapults forward onto an arduous journey. In a series of twists and turns, her life unfolds into a succession of personal challenges further plagued by the economic turmoil of The Great Depression. Are the challenges too much for a poor orphan to bear or will she rise above it all to beat the odds? Her fate unfolds with a tumultuous climax and her life becomes forever changed once again.
Written as a standalone novel, Forever Determined is the first installment of Pauline Roka's journey. Many beloved characters are introduced and continue on Pauline’s journey in the second book installment, Still Determined, that follows Pauline’s next chapter of her life.
Ideal for book clubs, Forever Determined & Still Determined are two standalone books that are thought-provoking and truly inspirational. The characters come to life and are sure to capture hearts with their relatable hardships and joy that any teen or adult could understand.
