My Sun Rises Over India

About the Book

All his friends and colleagues consider Royal Stark Hagin a success. However, at the end of the day he goes home to an empty apartment, while they go home to their families and loved ones. Something is missing, or putting it more accurately…someone is missing. Although he hates to admit it, he has never even been in love.

As a successful lawyer and public defender from Ithaca, New York, Royal has successfully defended a client he knows is guilty, but it is a hollow victory, as it only intensifies his growing feelings of restlessness.

A chance encounter with a mysterious red haired woman and a tall dark handsome man from India takes him out of the world he is familiar with, and halfway around the world on an adventure of a lifetime and changes his life forever.

Not only does he learn secrets from his own past, but he also meets a young woman who he helps come to terms with memories that have haunted her from her childhood. She, on the other hand, teaches him what inspires poets and songwriters to write words of unrelenting love.

About the Author

My love for horses and story telling has to be attributed to my paternal grandmother. She was an accomplished horsewoman and an avid story teller. I hope the reader of this fictional account will find it as enjoyable to read as I enjoyed the experience of putting it down on paper, and that I have succeeded in imitating my grandmother’s talent to spin a yarn.
