Title: The Fragrance of Roses Author: Nikki Arana Publisher: Revell Books ISBN: 0-8007-3050-X Genre: Inspirational/Women/Fiction
Angelica and Anthony Perez’s son, Manuel, has been in remission for the past five years. But a routine doctor’s exam comes with the dreaded news that the cancer is back, and in a more aggressive state.
The only hope of saving Manuel’s life is with a bone marrow transplant, but no one in his immediate family is a match. Since Manuel is of a minority race, chances are slim that a match will be found. So Anthony makes the difficult decision to leave his family and return to Mexico to look for a match.
But time is running out. Manuel’s life is on the line. Only a miracle will save him. Will Anthony be able to find a match before it’s too late?
The Fragrance of Roses is the third book in Ms. Arana’s powerful Regalo Grande Series and readers will want to read the books in order as each is a continuation of the story. I enjoyed reconnecting with Angelica, her husband, and parents, and getting to know her young children.
I cried when Manuel’s cancer returned, and hoped that they would find a donor in time to save him. The Fragrance of Roses is well written and holds the reader’s interest until the end. I enjoyed the series and hope that there is more to come. $12.99. 336 pages.
