In Patricia Haley’s Destined, Don Mitchell leaves Detroit and heads to South Africa to flee the embarrassment that came when his father chose his younger brother, Joel Mitchell, to run the family business, DMI. Their business is based on sound biblical principles and morals. Some where along the way, Joel forgets that and starts to make horrible business decisions. The board, especially Don’s mother, Madeline, believes there is no other decision left but to call Don back to take over. Don and Joel have always been at odds. Their father left Don’s mother to be with Joel’s mother. Of course, that leaves nothing but disaster. But if they want to keep DMI as a successful company, they must somehow agree on who should lead it. Everyone believes it is Don’s destiny. Who is really destined to be the leader?
Although this was a sequel to Haley’s first book, CHOSEN, I was able to understand what was going on without having read the first book. DESTINED is a story of forgiveness. It may take many years, but ultimately forgiveness is for you. At times it was very predictable. Then at other times totally unbelievable. But I enjoyed the modern day play on the biblical story of David and Solomon.
