Yuki is smart and sweet. She'd make a perfect wife and mother. She's so beautiful that men can't keep their eyes off of her. She's everything Charles could want, and the only thing she wanted was Charles. But as Charles's friend Richard and his students watch the love story unfold, they can't help but notice the striking similarities between Yuki and a ghost from a famous Japanese legend named, coincidentally or not, Yuki-Onna. But ghosts are only found in stories, right? Yuki-Onna & Her Gaijin Lover tells the story of a whirlwind romance between a foreigner living in Japan and Yuki, a mysterious and magnetic girl everyone seems to have an opinion about. And while their dates are magical and their love is blossoming, the coincidences just keep piling up. Knipfing's modern-day retelling of the classic Japanese ghost story is a walk through a budding romance with a nagging question that just won't go away.
