In A World Between Us, two cultures clashes and love is challenged in the vibrant heart of New York City. The determined writer from the Philippines, Maya Hernandez, leaves her life in Manila for New York because she craves adventure and new opportunities. While she cherishes her Filipino heritage and family traditions, the overwhelming city feels daunting and alien to her. One fateful afternoon, she meets an equally charming, Irish American architect, Liam O'Reilly, and a spark ignites between the two.
As their love develops, they also face the challenges of an interracial relationship. Maya and Liam have to adjust to each other's cultures as they seek a way to be with each other in light of remorseless family and tradition opposition. Both face internal conflict in their love as they try to navigate through the expectations of their separate worlds, each wondering how far the love can go in overcoming cultural barriers.
This sensitive narrative illustrates the challenges as well as the pleasures of building a life with another person whose culture and values are different from one's own. Therefore, A World Between Us is the story of courage, reconciliation as well as the power of love, which is capable of overcoming even the widest chasms of civilization.
