While she succeeds at her job, her personal life is another story. Henrico Augostini is an architectural engineer who left his father's software company, much to his father's dismay, to make a go of Augostini's Engineering. Jacqueline is in need of respite from her philandering mate but she also harbors painful memories of her childhood that she must overcome. Henrico's father consistently thwarts his attempts of winning construction contracts, which sends Henrico into a slump. When these two lost souls meet on a cruise, a journey in and of itself begins.
The secondary characters, the family and friends of Jacqueline and Henrico, are emotional, at times humorous and are portrayed realistically. While taking us on a whirlwind ride of denying attraction and finally love, Passion's Journey explores the racial and class prejudices we hold which prevent the characters from seeing true love right before their eyes.
