Seasoned Desires

When widowed business owner Ming Hu receives a misdirected résumé, she senses a summoning to connect with Peter Williams on a personal level. However, ethics and culture differences stall her decision for months. During the delay, images of prior relationship joys resurface and the phrases from the résumé beckon. When confronted with limited time, she plots forward with a crafty plan to draw Peter near before he's unattainable. With business savvy and courage applied, her prowess of canny and optimistic statements reshapes Peter's self-sufficiency and concern of deceit from a former marriage in their budding bicultural relationship. Challenges, communication, humor, trust, and warmth become allies in Ming's mature themed adventure to fulfill desires of love, connection, and companionship, but a goal lost if Peter feels alarmed or pressured. Wit and hope lead her on a path to emotional fulfillment, and through inspiration, she finds reinvention of oneself.
