Impossible. Writing this introduction is impossible to do, and here's why: it can't match the emotional truth that is portrayed in this book. This blurb is being written after-the-fact. It's a a sales pitch. What I can tell you, truthfully, is that whats within was written as events unfolded. The words are the direct distillation of action and the reality of events in near-real-time. The conclusions and the net-effects are genuine and unbiased.
This is a completely clear and un-pixelated accounting of the life of four individuals who's worlds collide at a table, in a bar, on a beach in Southeast Asia. What happens next is magic.
Follow the adventures of the four as they grapple with the wreckage of the lives they temporarily left behind in Sweden, the UK, Australia, and the United States. Heartache, loss of love, loss of self, and the reclamation of it all in a chance meeting at a Bar by the Beach.
