About this ebook
Trapped in trauma, alone abroad, and loathing the covid lockdown.
Japanese Kigaiko Wazawai knows: if she cannot feel whole, it won't be the Corona virus that will kill her.
Guided by philosophical discussions with her grandfather, and metaphorical dreams, Kigai ventures into a journey of self-discovery and online dating, and the Korean-American Jacob Isdadi she gets to know soon becomes a close companion.
However, their path is full of obstacles: her unprocessed trauma pulls her back; the pandemic blocks them from meeting; and if the present wasn't enough, the historically tense Japanese-Korean relation forms additional stumbling blocks.
Kigai fights through a labyrinth of different approaches to escape her inner prison until there seems no way past a compromise: not reaching her destination, or losing the man she loves. Will she find her freedom?
Find out and inspire your self-help journey through the mind-swirling depth of this melancholic, yet hopeful psychological literary fiction best-seller with a heartbreaking twist.

- Fighting with or wanting to understand mental health (loneliness, trauma, PTSD, depression, rape, grief)

Which genre do you attribute this book to?
With psychological self-development as the backbone of the story, this is literary fiction.
The tragic love story brings an additional layer of modern romance and women's fiction.
Real-life events inspired many descriptions and actions, so it could even be called auto-fiction.
Cultural differences between one's home country and country of residence, as well as in the interactions with other people, justify the classification as world literature.
Yuki Carlsson
Do you struggle with life? Do you not know where you belong? Do you often have the impression of observing situations from outside rather than being part of them? Then hear me out! I am Yuki Carlsson, a psychological literary fiction author. My mission is to help seekers define their identity and find a place in society. I do so by writing educational, yet entertaining fiction about people in a crisis and showing how they found peace with themselves and their surrounding:- anxiety, depression, trauma...- multiraces, people of colour, living abroad...- transsexuality, non-binary, queer...- and moreWho am I to write about these topics? As a seeking nomad, I have ventured into life for a long time: I lived in six different countries, but felt home nowhere; I gained a doctor's degree in engineering, but my well-paid job as servant leader in a huge tech company did not fulfil me; I was told I was a girl, but I preferred chasing through the forest with a self-made bow and arrow; I had to be strong, but struggled a lot. On my journey, I found I was not alone and listened to the life stories of people who became my closest friends, regardless of age, gender, and nationality. Now, I have found myself: I am Yuki Carlsson, an extreme sports loving, piano playing, non-binary world citizen, a writer. I want to be your mentor, your coach, your friend. My vision is to build a community in which it is safe to exchange about stigmatised topics, for the people directly or indirectly affected by the issues.Do you want to become part of it?
