Beneath the Ardiente Sky - Alvin E. Lauran

'In a quiet Filipino coastal town, secrets do not stay buried forever.

Eliandro Santos thought he understood his father - a man of honor, faith, and family.

Until one discovery reveals a lifetime of hidden letters... and a love that was never meant to survive.

Who was the man his father loved in secret?

How long can a heart live divided between duty and truth?

And when the past finally demands to be remembered, will understanding come too late?

As old wounds reopen and long-kept promises unravel, Eli must face the fragile line between tradition and compassion, silence and courage, family and freedom.

Because beneath the Ardiente sky, some loves are forbidden.

Some sacrifices are invisible.

And sometimes, it takes a funeral to finally understand a lifetime.
