It is medieval England and Linus has recently abandoned his duty as a knight and personal bodyguard to the king to become a farmer. More importantly, he has decided to follow his heart to conquer the heart of a beautiful woman he believes to be his soul mate. Part of his effort to win Diana’s affection includes writing her letters. As a relationship eventually develops, neither has any idea that their story and love—the kind many only dream about—will exist through time and space, reincarnation, and mankind’s worst scenarios. When a chain of events leave Linus alone without any idea of how to connect with her again, destiny suddenly provides them with another opportunity. This time, there are no wars to fight, and no evil, conspiracies, or traitors. Now that they have a real chance at love, will they finally find a way to survive or will fate separate them once again? Letters to Diana is a historical tale that spans centuries as two soul mates struggle to be together through space, time, and reincarnation.
“Someday,” Candelaria Garcia said to the author, “you will get all the stories.” It was a tall order, in Magdalena, New Mexico, a once booming frontier town where Navajo, Anglo, and Hispanic people have lived in shifting, sometimes separate, sometimes overlapping worlds for well over a hundred years. But these were the stories, and this was the world, that David Wallace Adams set out to map, in a work that would capture the intimate, complex history of growing up in a Southwest borderland.

The students at this school, however, are not your average students: they are the sons and daughters of the leaders of every single country. Going through High School is already a complicated task. It doesn't help that you are thousands of kilometers away from home, far from everyone and everything you've ever known, surrounded by people with completely different nationalities and personalities and very little in common. To make things worse, Elisa will soon come to realize that there is nothing ordinary about the whole school either...

While his recovery eludes him, his memory returns us to Minneapolis, to the Flats, a milling community on the Mississippi River, where Raimund and his brother Albert have sought respite from the oppressive hand of their older brother, now the master of the family fa...
