Love Connection is unlike any love story ever told. The “lovers” don’t even meet until the final pages of the book. Though they live in Japan, their “romantic adventure” spans three continents. What eventually happens to them is truly mind-blowing and based on actual events.

Description

Love Connection is set in contemporary Japan and is the story of Kumiko and Takashi, two mature individuals still grieving the loss of their spouses. They don’t know one another, in fact, do not even meet until the final scene of the novel. Both Kumiko and Takashi end up visiting Africa, then finally meet back in Japan. This totally unique tale is based on true stories. This is NOT A ROMANCE NOVEL. It’s about redefining self, rediscovering relationships and life, the ruthlessness and sociopathy of some foreign criminal elements, and the innocence, trusting nature of Japanese people.
