In the name of love
This is the true love story of my grandparents. They met in the city in 1935, when the street lights were dim and the Thames water was a pale gold. They were classmates and the few Chinese in the school at that time. Vast foreign land, obscure academic words, cold streets and warm mists, and she knew that above this gray, there was the glimmer of his eyes enough to ignite the whole world.

The Redeemer
There was a time when Gabriel Roth was a man lost to the shadows. To most people, he was a memory—one of those stories you hear whispered in dark corners, a cautionary tale that the world seemed eager to forget. A man who had once stood tall, confident, and proud, only to fall into a spiral of selfishness and regret.

Warriors of Loving
My Dearest Audrella, I thank you for the cloves you had enclosed in your last missive. That permitted me great joy in ingesting the aromas of such spices. Now is the time where I must depart from happy feelings. The aggressors have shown themselves to be quite despicable in their deportment. Some of the Continental Army have shown themselves to be rather hostile, too. They don’t salute me as a colonel, the white men. They snicker and chortle every time I come into view. My men, however, salute me and say good morning or any other time of day and “Colonel Redd.” They can take my admonishments. They receive commands and carry out orders with the strictest discipline.

Letters Through the Shadow
Letter I – August 14, 1943 From Captain Edward Harrington to Evelyn My dearest Evelyn, As I commit these words to paper by the flickering glow of a makeshift lamp in our cramped dugout, I find both solace and sorrow in the act. The distant rumble of artillery and the intermittent crackle of gunfire serve as constant reminders that our homeland trembles under the weight of conflict. I am stationed near the scarred outskirts of Normandy—a place where gentle fields have been violently transformed into a chessboard of strategy and sacrifice. Yet even amid this desolation, thoughts of you bring forth a fragile bloom of hope.

Revolutionary Love
My Love, How bittersweet it is to pick up the pen. I rejoice that we have this small thread to keep us together, but it is a very thin thread indeed. I miss you dearly, and wish you were here for the wonderful news. Our son is walking! He, on his unsteady little feet, held my hand and we walked down the lane to watch the regiments pass. Are you not the proudest papa? My heart is full to bursting as I watch him grow. His sisters too are well and are always moving, it is a fight for them to sit still. If they were to run to the farthest snow drifts of the north to the hottest islands of the south and back again, they would still have the breath to beg me for sweets after supper. At the very least they sleep throughout the night again. The steady gunfire over the past months has kept them up. But even restless nights have not slowed the pace of their chatter.
