MONTVILLE, N.J., January 31, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- True love - does it exist? How do you know when you find that all-encompassing love that only happens in fairy tales? Can true love survive when challenged by the most humiliating of all distinctions: the hierarchy of classes? These questions and more are addressed in the powerful and provocative Secrets of Passion (now available through 1stBooks Library).
Secrets of Passion is the poignant journey of two people who love each other in spite of their differing social classes. In India from the 1950's through the 1970's, social class was divided into the rich and those who were without life's luxuries. The farmers own all the land and they live a charmed life. The poor people who are forced to work the land simply to survive have nothing.
In the middle of this rigid system, two families, one rich and one poor, find themselves forever linked. Refusing to be bound by the system that has enslaved them, both the women and men in these families seek and find the love they could only dream of experiencing. As a result, two illegitimate children are born. The children grow and the relationships continue, but the ultimate result is nothing that either one of them could ever really understand.
Death and murder haunt the families as the truth about the past is revealed. Will those who remain alive be able to resume a normal life?
Secrets of Passion is the second work to be published by author Andreos. His first work, A Journey Through Generations, a biography, was published in August of 2002. An engineer by profession, Secrets of Passion is his first work of fiction. Andreos has seen the sufferings of the poor people in India and has seen the rich take advantage of the poor. Wanting to share and reveal the things he experienced during his childhood in India, Andreos brings stark clarity to a once taboo subject.
