 I’m a fan of Grey’s Anatomy.  I got hooked a few years ago when I shared an office with a doctor who watched the series during the down times. He would laugh, argued, and once he even cried – I mean he shed tears.

When my fabulous editor and author, Zee Monodee, stated that my latest release was the Grey’s Anatomy of Africa, I was tickled, um, brown.  My book and the show aren’t a perfect match, though. Here are some similarities and differences between Midwife to Destiny and Grey’s Anatomy

Similarities

1.  The hospital setting  holds its own sort of intrigue.

2.  Everyone is beautiful with a high level of intelligence.

3.  The romance is off the charts.

4.  Sometimes you want to grab the heroine and make her do what you want. Tell me you’ve never wanted to reach into the TV and get a hold of Grey’s lapels?

5. We talk about medical stuff without boring you so you learn a thing or two.

6. Can we say dramatic characters and situations?

7. Both were written by fabulously awesome black women. Gotta love Nana Prah and Shonda Rhimes.

Differences

1. Nurses play a major role in Midwife to Destiny. A lack of active nurses on the show annoyed me because it’s such an active hospital.

2. Sorry, but there’s no sex in Midwife to Destiny. Not to say there isn’t heat, though. Grey’s Anatomy is about everybody having sex with somebody. 

3. There’s only one arrogant character in my book, who happens to be a doctor (not the hero)  versus a whole lot of them on Grey’s.

Okay, so comparing the lists, Midwife to Destiny is more like Grey’s anatomy in Africa than not. But don’t take my word for it, get your copy and judge for yourself.

Blurb

Ghanaian nurse Aurora ‘Ora’ Aikins never expected to find the love of her life while on vacation in South Africa. Engaged to another and believing that love has no place in her life, she returns to Ghana, and puts duty and honor first.

Three years later, Dr. Jason Lartey still can’t get Ora out of his mind or his heart. After learning she never married, he takes a risk and moves to Ghana hoping to rekindle what they started. His sudden appearance in Ora’s Emergency Department sends sparks flying all over again.

They’re in the same country, working in the same hospital, and together but distance creeps between them. Can they make their destined love one for the ages?
