A Wife Of Convenience

A Wife Of Convenience by Kim Lawrence released on Mar 25, 2003 is available now for purchase.

“Be my scapegoat!” is what Rosie’s twin sister said to her, begging her to act out a marriage with a man in order to make her boyfriend jealous. The fake fianc? was Morgan Urquart, a stunning, handsome man, who had a need to wed within six months to gain management rights to his company. With the understanding that this is merely a marriage based on contract, Rosie feels relieved, but at the same time starts to feel sweet, heartrending sorrow. Rosie tries to hide her discomposure while trying hard to act as her twin sister, but Morgan detects that she is a scapegoat...!?

A brand new edition of the smash-hit play, now a wildly popular CBC TV series. Mr. Kim is a first-generation Korean immigrant and the proud owner of Kim’s Convenience, a variety store located in the heart of downtown Toronto’s Regent Park neighbourhood. As the neighbourhood quickly gentrifies, Mr. Kim is offered a generous sum of money to sell — enough to allow him and his wife to finally retire. But Kim’s Convenience is more than just his livelihood — it is his legacy. As Mr. Kim tries desperately, and hilariously, to convince his daughter Janet, a budding photographer, to take over the store, his wife sneaks out to meet their estranged son Jung, who has not seen or spoken to his father in sixteen years and who has now become a father himself. Wholly original, hysterically funny, and deeply moving, Kim’s Convenience tells the story of one Korean family struggling to face the future amidst the bitter memories of their past.

I said yes to a proposal that was miserable and loveless… Venetia, an apprentice nurse, was injured in a bomb scare and was treated by Professor Luitinga, a famous Dutch doctor. The professor, who usually had a reputation for being scary, was extremely kind to her - and that's when the love affair began. After that, the professor continued to care for Venetia, who had lost her relatives, and even asked her out on dates. But she never imagined that it was for a contract marriage... The professor proposed that she play the role of a mother for the girl he was temporarily taking care of as her guardian. The offer was made without love, and Venetia's heart was about to burst with despair...
