The Story of the First Generation of Maret in America. On 18 September 1966, Arthur and Irene Maret and their three children departed the country of their birth for a new life in America. But, how did Arthur and Irene meet in England? Who were their ancestors? Did they realize their dreams in America? Love and Destiny is the poignant story of the first generation of Maret in America. Like any good fiction story - this two-volume book is full of twists and turns, and a few surprises. Together for over 50 years, Arthur and Irene's love for each other and success-oriented approach shines through in every page of this biographic work. Irene passed away on 22 September 2009 with calm and dignity, well-satisfied with the accomplishments of her children and their descendents. Left on his own to write this story, Dr. Arthur Maret has tried hard to ensure that Irene would have approved of every word. In recognition of Irene's unparalleled impact on the Maret in America family, this book is affectionately dedicated to her memory.
