THE MOSTLY TRUE TALE OF GETTING ROOFIED IN TOKYO AND WAKING UP MARRIED IN RURAL THAILAND

Willie Lyonsan. A salt-of-the-earth Midwesterner. A contradiction in terms. A misfit dropped into a speck of a town in Michigan like a riddle challenged to find its own answer. After a decade of sideways love affairs, slow burns and hard landings, the reluctant protagonist of this fabled tale sets out on a pilgrimage across Japan to reset his life. Instead he’s thrust into yet another misadventure. 

Drugged in a Tokyo bar he wakes up in Bangkok where he’s put on an overnight train headed into the kind of nowhere maps forget. When the dust settles, he’s got a new wife, a new tattoo and no memory of any of it.

What starts as chaos and misdirection becomes something else entirely… A tale of divine intervention, and, somehow, grace. This is more than a wildly entertaining ride; it’s a deeply poetic story of redemption, a soul-level love that unfolds when all seems lost, and a life-affirming rediscovery no one saw coming.
