The Rose and the Peony

About this ebook
The protagonists, Kathy and Paul, gradually mature together, but disruptions in their lives tighten their resolve to succeed and accomplish their cherished objectives. Paul eventually becomes an Historian, publishing extensively in his field of Chinese diplomatic history. Kathy, fascinated by Political Science and International Relations, becomes a successful, controversial politician.
Importantly, their common interest in literature leads both to develop a mystical desire for Paul to write a novel. After frequent delays and interruptions, Paul does write the novel—it is this novel—a story within a story!
