Rising Sunsets
GD Luckett
Based On Real Events
It's the mid 1980s—a time of leg warmers and Walkmans, a period when technology was starting to take shape, yet tradition still had its strong foundations.
The world was an expanse of contrasts, nowhere more so than in the lives of two young individuals: one from the sunburned expanses of Barmera, a quaint town in South Australia's Riverland; and the other from the bustling, neon-lit streets of Tokyo, Japan.
Two lives, impossibly different, each characterised by their own forms of simplicity and complexity, familiarity and strangeness. And yet, destiny has a way of weaving tales from the most unlikely threads.
Their worlds were destined to collide, challenging their views on love, culture, and what it means to truly be with someone.
This is a tale of love, destined to be together by chance, but challenged by the vast distance between them and their immensely different backgrounds.
You will walk with them through the sunsets of Australia and the neon nights of Tokyo. You'll share their joys, struggles, triumphs, and setbacks. And you'll witness how two individuals separated by geography and culture are united in their search for love and meaning amidst life's unpredictability.
Two souls, separated by boundless oceans and contrasting worlds, bound together by a love that defies all odds.
Will fate be the force that keeps them apart or the bridge that brings them together?
In a world marked by differences they'll find that the language of love is universal—even if it speaks in diverse dialects.
