White Rose

Join Alan Charles Baker, a retired British army colonel, as he recalls his passionate love with an Untouchable Indian girl against the backdrop of World War II and the brutality of the Partition of India. Alan's story begins in south Asia in 1942. His battle against rampaging Japanese troops goes horribly awry and he is separated from his unit. Adrift in the jungle wilderness, he struggles to find his way to safety even as dysentery wracks his body. He is taken in by a golden-hearted but downtrodden and lonely Hindu girl named Sevti. In a cramped hut during the steamy monsoon season, the two young people develop an aching, unspoken love for each other. But can a lasting romance occur between a devout Christian and a Hindu? Even if a marriage is possible, war, bigotry, and civil war threaten to separate Alan and Sevti forever.Hahn, Christopher is the author of 'White Rose', published 2003 under ISBN 9781588517999 and ISBN 1588517993.
