Amanda

As a new writer, James L. Varnadoe dreamed of writing about things that interested him most, Love and War are two of those interests. After I completed my efforts toward writing my biography and ancestral history, I decided to try something totally Greek to me; a fictional story. Amanda (Light of MY Life)This story centers around two families living in New York and Ohio. Their lives come together somewhat by coincidence. Although, they lived similar life styles, they had nothing else in common except two children who fall in love with each other. These two faced the same trials and tribulations associated with young love, but encountered hardships uncommon with the youth and in todays environment.Distance threatened to destroy their love for each other and the lack of reliable communication and travel venues, posed an even greater threat. There were several people who impacted their lives in their struggled to find their way back together again. However, they found solace in their reunion after a lengthy separation and were content with the outcome of their quest for happiness. They both lived in close proximity of each other and worked to prepare the way for a wedding that would bind them to each other. The onslaught of the civil war impacted both families in the most horrific way imaginable and would place an even greater strain on their lives. This epic about family ties, faith, humor and mystique, surrounded by love and romance may whet your reading appetite. I hope to have a sequel to this story finished in the near future for your reading pleasure also.
