New York, NY, July 08, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Widz Stoops, who was born in Jakarta, Indonesia, and is currently pursuing a career in a financial institution, has completed her new book, “Kalelana”: a riveting tale that follows one man’s journey to discover his true origins. The journey is full of unexpected events that take him by surprise.
“Kalelana, a handsome, mighty and brave man successfully saved the daughter of King of Galuga from the clutches of an evil genie,” writes Stoops. “The hope of marrying the beautiful princess, as a reward for his bravery, was within reach. But then, the King of Galuga broke his promise. He refused to let his daughter marry a man of unknown origin.
“That's when Kalelana’s determination began. He needed to know his true identity, his birthplace, his parents, his ancestors, and his origins. In his quest to trace his lineage, fragments of past memories started to emerge. Unfortunately, these memories only puzzled him even more.
“While wandering in the middle of the wildwood during his journey to find his own identity, Kalelana accidentally met Dayang Sumbi, a beautiful woman who lived alone in the wilderness. Love blossomed from their encounter. They fell deeply in love with each other. Without hesitation Kalelana proposed to her. However, a great secret was unveiled.”
