The Bonds of the White Lotus

FIRST APPEARANCE IN PRINT of Adela Cather’s incomparable book, the author of the literary hit “A Thousand Eons. Redemption”!

All of us need someone who, looking at us from the outside, will want to protect us from all hardships. People, contrary to popular belief, don’t fall in love with a picture or an ideal appearance. Sometimes it’s enough to have a sincere smile and the burning faith inside—faith that one day the question “Why?” will surely have an answer. And the answer will be very short.

“Because you deserve it.”

Tokyo, Japan—today.

A young architect from China, Luo Kai, comes to the city for work on a restoration project. He is focused on his career, and his life is orderly and scheduled down to the details. It seems it will be like this forever. But one day, Luo Kai meets a young man, Cai Yan, who became an orphan early and raises a twelve-year-old child on his own. Cai Yan’s fate is full of tragedies and losses, yet his thirst for life, his striving, and his dreams are so contagious that Luo Kai can’t resist the desire to help him and the boy under his care.

Can broken families come together? And what price will they have to pay for it?

“Bonds of the White Lotus” is a bright story filled with Eastern wisdom about eternal human values: a family that isn’t limited to blood ties, friendship tested by time and trust, and kindness that lives in every heart. Modern Japan, found families, belief in miracles, words after which you want to live—these are all in the book “Bonds of the White Lotus.”

For fans of Mo Xian Tong Shu and Gabriel Costa.

“A tender and touching story about the importance of a small miracle in everyone’s life; about family ties sealed not by blood but by mutual respect, trust, and overcoming life’s hardships together; about invaluable friendship and unconditional love for one’s neighbor. Very heartfelt!” — Lita, author of the channel “Tirlimbombom.”
