King Janaka has a problem. The time has come to marry off his eldest daughter, Sita, but it’s his opinion that no man exists who is worthy of his little girl. Seeing a way to keep her by his side, he proposes an impossible-to-win contest, confident no man will ever accomplish the deed he sets forth.

The Ramayana, an ancient epic from India, is a wonderful story of battles and bravery, of courage and spiritual fulfillment. But at its heart, the Ramayana is a love story. The four short stories in this collection reveal the beginnings of that love.
Diana Hunter first became interested in the Ramayana when she had a fellowship through the National Endowment for the Arts at Syracuse University. She’s told her own expounding on the epic to high school students nearly a hundred times since then, always enjoying modern day kids’ reactions to this ancient tale. With this set of stories, she begins a long-held desire to write her own version of the incredible love story of Ram and Sita.
Diana is also a published author of erotic romance, a very different genre from that of the Ramayana epic. You can find excerpts from all her books as well as purchasing and contact information on her website: http://www.dianahunter.net.
