YESTERDAY - Love Transcends All
Anna Chen leaves her home in China to come to the United States to attend college.The first time she goes to church, she meets Greg Miller,a tough southern boy, and together they start to taste the fruits of forbidden love. Despite their different backgrounds, her guilt of abroken engagement, the Chen family curse, the shadow of a burning Ku Klux Klan cross, and the terror of the Chinese Mafia, their passion blazes. From the cry of Tiananmen Square to the sigh of Little Apple, Kansas, they learn how to love. "YESTERDAY is a deeply moving, beautifully told story that will linger in your mind long after the last word is read," says Elaine Barbieri, best-selling author of "Eagle" and the "Dangerous Virtues" trilogy. "Once you open YESTERDAY, you won't be able to put it down. It is spellbinding, filled with wit and wisdom, kindness and compassion and joy and sorrow, with characters so real you feel you've known them all your life. A must read!" claims Susan Christopher, Publisher, Integrity Press, Inc., author of "Do What You Want, But don't Lose Your Head."
