THE MEET UP
WHEN HEARTS COLLIDE A KAMPALA LOVE STORY
When a coffee collision changes everything.
Sarah Nakitende is done with love. At twenty-six, freshly divorced and emotionally scarred, she's concentrated on rebuilding her life and pursuing her dream of revolutionizing sustainable housing in East Africa. The last thing she needs is love — especially not with a struggling artist who literally spills each coffee over her in a Kampala café.
Amon Kato sees beauty in broken effects. The moment he meets Sarah, he recognizes something extraordinary beneath her precisely controlled surface. Despite her walls, despite her fears, he is determined to show her that not all men are like the bone who shattered her trust.
Their connection is inarguable. But just as Sarah begins to believe in alternate chances, her dream job arrives — a year-long assignment in Kigali, Rwanda. Separated by distance and mistrustfulness, they must decide love is strong enough to survive 365 days apart.
The match up is a broad contemporary love that follows Sarah and Amon through nine years of distance and devotion, career negotiations and artistic fests, heartache and healing. From their accidental meeting to a whirlwind marriage, from videotaped calls across borders to building a family in Kampala, their story proves that true love does not limit ambition — it amplifies it.
Set against the vibrant background of ultramodern Uganda, this female-led love explores what it means to choose love daily, to support each other's dreams indeed when it's inconvenient, and to have a life that honors both cooperation and purpose.
