Product description...

A love story made in heaven that took over three thousand years to write.

The Pink Rose is a modern day version of the mythical tale of the creation of the pink rose by Aphrodite in Ancient Greece. The Pink Rose, the first of three books of the Aphrodite Chronicles’ series, is a romantic novel set in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s that shows that true love can be timeless. Thomas Roberts is now an eighteen year old student and since the second grade, Pam Collins, now seventeen, has always been a distant part of his life. It took ten years for them to finally come to terms with the unexplainable feelings they shared with each other. For a year, they were seen as the perfect couple until the day that Thomas makes a decision based on what he perceives as the right choice; however, Thomas must get Pam to fall out of love with him. When this does not happen, Thomas does the most desperate thing he can do to her, and then he disappears. When Thomas finally returns home, it is not the wounds from battle that he suffers from. Thomas has fought too long to keep his love for Pam inside of him, yet now, as his life is slowing being drained from him, his will to hold on is all but over. There is only one person who might save him, but Pam must forgive him first, yet she has lost the ability to love. Her heart is filled with too much hatred and anger caused by what Thomas did to her; however, with some heavenly intervention by two angels, Pam slowly begins to understand what she is actually feeling.
