title: Circle of Love
author: Gummels, Soecy
description: Circle of Love is the enchanting story of youthful exhilaration in the budding of "Love's Blossom;" the heartbreaking promise that crushes love and spirals its characters into "The Storm Within;" the resilience of friendship and honor that develops into love's "Gentle Submission;" the challenge of a "New Beginning" when a revolution takes its toll; and the strength and weakness of the links that come "Full Circle" to a love that is destined to be. Circle of Love is the story of Lucia, a young Hispanic-American girl, and the trials and triumphs she experiences through love and cultural differences. It follows her journey through innocence and despair into the spirit of a woman's strength.
