Building Passion

by Jane Bierce

Published 1983255 pagesISBN 978-0-3731-6015-0

A sturdy foundation can become a lifetime of building passion Osprey Builders was slowly establishing a strong reputation and Jacqui Belpre had right to be proud of how far she had taken the small Tampa Bay construction company since her parents' deaths. Her brother Kyle by her side, Jacqui ran the business as she did her siblings--with a firm hand, always in total command of every emotion. So when Christopher Warden came to Jacqui, accusing Kyle of misconduct with Chris's sister, Jacqui was incensed. She knew the drives of youth, but she also realized Kyle would never dishonor their name. Yet what could Jacqui say to Kyle when each confrontation with Chris awakened desires she knew she could never control....

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Nonfiction, Fiction, Romance. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A more thoughtful way into this book

This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.

Good to know

A comfortable full-length choice for steady daily reading.

Begin with its place in Nonfiction, then notice where the book resists that label.

Try this reading approach

Read for connection, not completion.

Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.

Three questions to carry with you

  1. Whose perspective organizes the story, and whose perspective remains outside it?
  2. Which sources or lived experiences carry the author’s central argument?
  3. How does the book change the way you understand its larger subject?
