A Love Story for a Nation

As nightly raids burn the capital city, the mundane existence of Gerald Sanpatri takes a dramatic shift when Rosia walks into his life bringing laughter and unexpected love. She inspires the ex-writer to once again take up his pen and write the impossible: a love story for an entire nation. A Love Story for a Nation chronicles the explosive and heart-warming journey of one country's brush with history through the eyes of a courageous man who dared to stand up, smile, and think the unimaginable. Mark Sasse grew up in Butler County in western PA, but he has spent most of the last twenty years in Asia, teaching, writing and enjoying the food.
