She had kept the small town values her Aunt Cora had taught her, was good at her job, and Park Avenue was not really so glamorous until Dewa, the Indian prince, came along and taught her the words to the Indian song ... for my love will be like a wreath of flowers ... Then Pamela felt her life begin to change.
