When Stars Collide: A Love Story Against All Odds
What if the universe conspired to bring two strangers together on the most impossible day of their lives? Natasha Kingsley and Daniel Bae couldn't be more different. She's a Jamaican-born pragmatist facing deportation in less than 24 hours. He's a Korean-American poet reluctantly headed for a Yale interview to fulfill his immigrant parents' medical school dreams. Their chance encounter on a bustling New York City street shouldn't matter-they'll never see each other again after today. Yet something electric happens when their eyes meet, something that defies Natasha's scientific worldview and confirms Daniel's poetic heart. "I see us in old age," Daniel thinks upon first spotting her. "I have a strange and happy feeling that I can't quite describe. It's like knowing all the words to a song but still finding them beautiful and surprising."
