Cover blurb #1

With the letter in the mail, she travels to Finland where she hears her name blasted over a loudspeaker at a crusade tent.

Pirkko, in her final year of high school, answers the request to teach English to a seminary student in Finland, and they embark on a pen pal relationship. 

Nothing else matters to Antti besides following God’s guidance, but he’s intrigued by the girl behind the letters. Who is she? Why does she matter? His focus on God’s call on his life keeps him unattached. He’s even sworn off dating until his graduation year. 

They share faith but not life goals. Feelings of unworthiness causes Pirkko to wonder whether to end it, but when he arrives as a summer intern at her church in Canada, everything changes. Instant attraction consumes her, and she makes a shocking declaration that could jeopardise her chance at love. 

Can they make it work despite the obstacles and the ocean between them? Will they have a future together? If you like God stories or sweet romance, this unique memoir is for you.

Cover blurb #2

Pirkko, an immigrant teenage girl living in Canada, dreams of travel, and longs for love but keeps hitting her head against a wall. A seminary student in Finland, has sworn off dating but needs an English-speaking pen pal to sharpen his language skills.

Is it a coincidence that brings them together through letters? For Antti, nothing else matters besides God, but he’s intrigued by the girl behind the letters. Who is she? 

Pirkko’s low self-worthiness drives her to work hard and search for life’s purpose, but she’s conflicted by their different goals and her own insecurities. 

Antti arrives to serve as a summer intern at her church in Canada. Consumed by her instant attraction, she makes an unexpected declaration that scares her, and jeopardises her chance at love.

Will the pressures between them and obstacles grow bigger, more complicated with a relationship across the ocean? Is there be a future for them?

Between Us is a true story based on my memory and letters we wrote in our twenties.
