Nina Purtee’s New Novel “Crossing Paths: The Road to Destiny” is a Compelling Love Story Ripe with Political Intrigue, Traditions Questioned, and Destiny’s Calling

“Annie looked over at the strappingly handsome matador she had just agreed to marry,” writes Nina Purtee. “Hailed from generations of Spanish matadors, Ramone was legendary for his skill at facing the fiercest of bulls. However, there was so much more about him Annie found irresistible…his layers seemed to move from sheer strength and focus when fighting to achingly sweet gentleness filled with romance when they were alone together. Her mother had commented that perhaps it was his poet’s soul that gave him the balance needed to off-set his bold profession.”
Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Nina Purtee’s passionate tale begins as Annie and Ramone celebrate their recent engagement. Ramone is a dashing matador who betrayed his father’s wishes in order to keep Annie and her father safe during the treacherous British turnover of Hong Kong to Beijing. The love-struck couple’s path seems to be on course, however political intervention turns their love story upside-down. Annie and Ramone take refuge in the picturesque island of Mallorca off the coast of Spain. The couple excitedly plan their wedding while in the midst of the King’s Cup Regatta and the Night of the Pilgrims Pilgrimage. But when friends and family gather to celebrate their love, secrets will be revealed. Annie and Ramone are led down a series of puzzling crossroads that have the power to change their destiny. Can their relationship endure?

Why Music Matters—Especially in Later Life

The release of Magical Musical Memories aligns with research indicating music’s capacity to reduce stress and rekindle recollection among people living with dementia. It also echoes widely shared experiences—from football legend Sir Alex Ferguson to the family of singer Tony Christie—of music’s unique ability to unlock the past.
Inside the Community Spirit
“From the songs that we danced to at our first school dance, to the albums that became the soundtrack of our lives, each memory is a testament to the moments that have defined us,” said Helen Davies-Parsons, Chief Executive of Dormy Care Communities. “Music can transport us back to a specific time and place. Through these recollections, memories will now live on.”
How to Buy the Book—and Support Local Charities
The coffee-table style book is priced at £15. Copies can be purchased by contacting any of the five homes directly; card payments can be taken over the phone and books can be posted. A portion of every sale will be donated to local charities.
