Lipsi’s Daughter

This Cinderella-type story begins on the Greek Isle of Lipsi, where Ipatia, an orphaned girl, lives with her grandfather. Intelligent, beautiful Ipatia is bent on pursuing a college education. She makes plans to attend the university in Piraeus and to live there with her aunt.

The day before her trip she literally falls into the arms of Tony Plakis, a rich ship-owner’s son, who saves her from a snake in the tree. In her hasty departure from the young man’s arms, she drops behind an English novel she was reading. Tony discovers the book and this leads to a sequence of events that draw the couple even closer.

However, complications accost them every step of the way. Tony’s best friend, Doctor Michael, falls for Ipatia, and Tony’s own father wants him to marry an heiress. To make matters worse, an accident separates the couple. Through a misunderstanding, Ipatia leaves for America, wanting nothing to do with Tony. Tony battles with amnesia, a result from the accident, trying to recover his life. Will he remember his true love, Ipatia? Will Ipatia’s love be strong enough to overcome the test of time

Excerpt from "Lipsi's Daughter" -

The wind and rain pelted Tony mercilessly as he made his way to the Captain’s steering room.

“Mr. Plakis, thank God you came!” shouted Captain Haris, trying to steer the yacht. “We can no longer fight the storm! One of our engines is down.”

“Where are we now?” shouted Tony Plakis. He battled with the door, trying to shut it. The yacht heaved itself headlong into the black night, while the howling winds and heavy rain pounded the ship with a vengeance.

“We are close to Lipsi Island. We will be safer if we dock there for the night!”

-------------------------------------------------------------------

It was mid-day and the sky was a lucid blue with no clouds in sight. Ipatia stood in the courtyard, gazing at Lipsi’s sun-splashed rolling hills and deep valleys. The vibrant greens of the cypress trees dotted the landscape, and the whitewashed houses, so pure in color, appeared almost saintly. Further ahead, the Aegean Sea seemed calm, deceivingly calm. She had learned a long time ago that the waters beyond Liendou’s bay could easily turn treacherous.

Excerpt from "Candlelit Journey: Poetry from the Heart"
Northeast Winter

Snow flakes - white and serene;
Falling freely everywhere around us,

Molding themselves to the frozen earth,
Forming a white blanket.

No more emerald greens or chestnut browns;
No more red brick houses or paved roads;

Painting everything pure white;
Like a cloud that has descended

Down to us and beckons us outside
To lay our heads upon pillows of soft snow.
