Now You Are Lisa: A Contemporary Tale of Human Connection

After a long career filled with triumphant successes and devastating failures, American businessman Adam Bertrand is well accustomed to the ups and downs of life. Still, several years after starting a new life in the thriving, modern city of Beijing, China, nothing could have prepared him for the disaster that awaits him.

Now, his wife and daughters are gone-his health, ravaged by a growing alcohol addiction. With no job and no sense of purpose, Adam flounders in a sea of loneliness and despair, desperate to fix the pieces of his broken existence. But through the unexpected power of human connection, a simple touch, he suddenly begins to rediscover exactly what he was missing all along.

Now You Are Lisa follows one man's journey as he awakens to the presence of others around him, after a lifetime of being driven by achievement and success. Inspired by the example of a poor Chinese widow who crosses his path, Adam begins to discover the truth behind a life well lived-and the incredible strength that emerges when we manage to overcome the obstacles that life throws our way.

Gary Moreau is a sixty-one-year-old American who currently lives in Beijing, China. Throughout his life and career, he has experienced many interesting times-achieving wonderful successes and also enduring the most extreme of failures.
