Download or read book Tashi written by Paul Breer and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-10-20 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tashi Tashi is the story of a young girl‘s love for an older man. The two are brought together by their common love for music, Richard being a composer, she a budding cellist. As she matures into young adulthood, her love for the reticent composer is continually tested by jealousy, physical separation, parental concern, and above all by his unconscious fear of rejection. Through it all she is sustained by support from her eccentric but compassionate grandfather who provides her with the ultimate key to unlocking her would-be lover’s suppressed desire. The novel draws on a theme familiar to both literature aficionados and opera-goers, the theme of a flawed man redeemed by a woman’s love. Most-often associated with Richard Wagner’s operas, it tells of how an otherwise heroic figure, typically saddled with guilt or fear, is absolved from self-punishment by a woman whose love is deep and pure enough to transcend the most despicable of sins.

The other two witnesses to the crime couldnt testify on his behalf... The young man sat on Death Row many years, hoping and praying that the truth would prevail and hed be exonerated.

But most of all by the three courageous men, who never gave up on him: his lawyer, who kept halting the state from executing him... the detective, who kept looking for the killer in the shadows... and the priest, who kept praying for a miracle. Six year later, the young man became despondent. Every appeal was denied, the evidence that surfaced turned out to be a dead end and the only witness left was about to die... Under those circumstances, he decided to end it allthere was nothing more they could do for him. He was ready to face his fate.... He was doing it for his family and friendshe wanted to set them free from their suffering... Once he was gone, they could go on with their lives and he would only be a sad memory. A date was set for his execution... In the midst of all this, a woman from his past, came into the picture.
