Synopsis
Born in the arms of forbidden love, Melani lives life "on the edge"-finding herself abandoned in a German blizzard, stranded in a Baghdad, Iraq, airport, and escaping disaster aboard the yacht, Obsession . . . "A wall of water . . . barely visible through the port . . . as the boat pitches and rolls. The roar of the wind and the endless grinding of the engines . . . one continuous groan against the pounding of the sea. . . . any attempt to rise brings on waves of nausea . . . The cupboard door suddenly flies open, turning hours of careful stowing into flying missiles that continue to roll around the sole . . . Tears of helplessness stream down my cheeks. 'Dear God,' I pray, 'Will this nightmare ever end?'" Romance threads through seven continents, stitching a love story-an adventure-as Melani meets life's challenges head on. Grab your passport and come aboard.

October 23, 2006: Review by D. L Montgomery, author of A Nanosecond To Eternity in the Twinkling of an Eye . A tour of heaven and how the earth comes to the end of life as we now know it. Book Reviewed: Arirang: The Bamboo Connection. By D.K. Christi ISBN: 1-4241-4776-X 487 pages, 6 X 9 Softcover PublishAmerica D.K. Christi unfolds a compelling tale that has everything that you would want in a romantic novel: travel, love, adventure, happiness, pain, grief, disaster and finally how to live comfortably through the rest of our days on earth. D.K. Christi, uses her vast education, her many travels to foreign lands and her knowledge of various cultures to write this brilliant, seamless, love story. Melani, her main character in Arirang: The Bamboo Connection, is married, has a young son Brian and works and lives in Korea. She is not happy with her marriage but has made friends with Dale and Jack, who have given her the friendship and love that she so desperately needs. Melani, her husband Derek and son Brian take a vacation to various exotic lands in the mid east, that are described in the book with exacting detail one can see in their minds eye every enchanting sight, smell the aroma of the food available in the various outdoor market places and have a tingling sensation at the back of your neck when reading some of the harrowing adventures that take place during the vacation and through the balance of the story. I found the book to be a tour de force that will be enjoyed and appreciated by readers of all genres.
