Author's Literary Debut Illustrates the Forgiveness of God

Shows how Christ-like love for others can transform hardened hearts.

Longwood, FL (PRWEB) April 13, 2008 -- In Deccan Diamond ($21.99, paperback, 978-1-60477-634-8), Amy L. Vishwanatha's gripping literary debut, the author brings an exceptional view of India to life while at the same time spreading God's message of love, trust, and forgiveness. Arabella Kingston, an English girl of natural sweetness and beauty, joins a local pastor and his wife to help spread God's word in India's Deccan Plateau. Two young men, one full of anger, the other running from love, enter her life in an extraordinary way and find themselves hunting a madman who will do anything for money and power, even commit murder.

Trust and love lead the three through the rollercoaster of events and emotions while trying to stop a horrible crime and at the same time deal with their pasts. This journey of faith and trust in God will make you laugh and weep. Join these three unique individuals in their quest for faith and justice in the beautiful land of India.

For author and singer Vishwanatha, the old adage of "write what you know" really hits home. Born and bred in Ohio, America's heartland, she wed Vishwanatha Srinivasan, from India, after an online courtship of more than a year. She loves his country and culture to such a degree that her writings are entrenched in Indian tradition, culture, and beliefs.

Says the author, "Forgiveness and trust are two essential elements in living life as a Christian. Deccan Diamond illustrates how the forgiveness of God, forgiving those who have wronged us and putting trust in God can change lives in ways we never imagined in the midst of any situation. Deccan diamond also demonstrates how loving others with a Christ-like love can transform the hearts of those whose hearts have been hardened by the trials of life."
