A tender and emotional 60's coming-of-age story, Levies of Devotion is a perfect summer porch-swing read!

Missing in action for over forty years, American GI Robert Clark's remains are discovered on a hillside in Vietnam. While exhuming the grave, the recovery team is surprised by a local woman in possession of letters written by Clark. The letters threaten to expose closely-held secrets and renew bitter family rivalries. And the woman in possession of the letters, she has a secret of her own.

Levies of Devotion explores the lives of four youths coming of age in Western New York amidst the backdrop of Vietnam and the cultural upheaval of the 1960's. Choices made at a tender age sealing their collective destinies. Love and intimacy, courage and family expectations forge paths riddled with loss and the living reminders of loss.

Richly woven with the detail of period and place, Levies of Devotion captures the emotion of first love, from seeds of desire through the harvest of wisdom.

Bride of Sultan ~ The Forgotten Rose by magicallovely

This was my first time. I patiently waited for the man Dua Begum told me would be my first to bed with. After starting to bleed two years ago, my stepmother left me at a pleasure house when my father abandoned us. Since then, I've accepted the pleasure house as my new home. He walked in a black Kurta with subtle green eyes and a deep voice. The moment he asked my name and age and then proposed to me for the wedding, I fell in love. There was no denying it. I was just fifteen, and he was nineteen. But, ever since the night of our wedding, he has not come back to take me with him to his home. He left me alone, stranded, burning for him. I did not know who he was. What did he do? All I knew was that he was the soul of my World. My Jaan-e-Jahan. Seven years later, he came back as a storm in my life. As Sultan Rehman Sulaiman. The son of the man who took everything from my family, even before my birth. The reason I ended up in the Pleasure House in the first place. But my love for my husband, the Sultan, is bigger than the mountains, deeper than the oceans, and wider than the skies, even though he is himself a Mountain, impossible to move, an ocean, scaring people to stay away, and a wide sky, impossible to reach. Discipline is everything for him. He is full of love and respect for his family but equally heartless and dangerous toward those who cross him. And, in all of this, I entered his life as a burning flame, a tiny candle's flame, dancing for his attention, crying for his affection, and dying for his love. Until he killed my only loved one. My love died. And, his never bloomed. I was once a bud, unbloomed Rose, who opened my deep red petals for him, and he turned them black, leaving me forgotten inside the dying pages. Was I always forgotten for him? Did he never consider me anything more than a mere responsibility? Will I always be remembered as Bride of Sultan ~ The Forgotten Rose?
