Synopsis "A Remarkable Woman (in English)"

If you read The Carnival Never Got Started and wondered why Pat didn't leave her husband, you will be further astonished by A Remarkable Woman.It is the biography of Pat Lovelace who was trained as an elementary school teacher and gave up that career to raise three children. There is nothing remarkable about that, hundreds of women do it every month. She married a romantic and a dreamer; there is nothing remarkable about that either. The dreamer became the owner of a furniture leasing corporation and then an interior design firm and then a highly successful manufacturing firm that created modular restaurant interiors. Then greed captured the dreamer. He dreamed of a public offering for the very successful firm. The dreamer borrowed heavily to finance the public offering. It came into the market in the midst of a major recession and the offering failed. The dreamer was wiped out financially. The remarkable woman incorporated an export import company which became extremely successful. The dreamer who 20 years previously had received a degree in architecture took the three day exam and passed. He opened an architectural firm which became very successful. He bought land on a Caribbean island and sold it for outrageous profit He decided that he an his wife should build their own Caribbean Hotel. The dreamer miscalculate the cost of the hotel and had to go back to work as an architect leaving the remarkable woman on an island where she was the only white woman to supervise a construction crew of 20 local men. She did not read drawings, she new nothing about construction. But she learned. The pictures inside this book are a testimony to her achievement. When the hotel opened she created a unique tour of the Caribbean menu and published a cook book about it. Her hotel was featured in every major travel magazine and was named by Conde-Nast traveler one of the 10 best small hotels in the Caribbean.
