A Will and A Wai

Can a connection lost in life be found in death? When my estranged brother dies in Thailand, I am tasked with a mission: to honour his last wishes and settle his estate.

It sounds straightforward—until you factor in a foreign country with a vastly different culture, a complicated language, and a complex legal system. Now, throw in a generous helping of surprising revelations and a healthy dose of challenges. Toss in an assortment of misadventures—an explosion, a close encounter with a ‘Burning Man,’ riding shotgun in an ambulance, a covert reconnaissance mission—and did I mention that I am a 68-year-old woman travelling solo?

This is the true story of attempting to settle my brother’s estate, survive the unexpected, and search for a connection to ease the regret for the one we lost 30 years ago.  

A Will and A Wai is a heartfelt, uplifting, and humorous memoir about family, misadventure, and the enduring power of unconditional love.
