A Story Born in a Village

Far From Home.

 

What happens when finding yourself means losing everything you once knew?

That question sat with me for years—through jet lag, Japanese bathhouses,

tiny countryside train stations, and conversations I half-understood.

It eventually became the heartbeat of my debut novel,

The Naked Gaijin.

 

This story was born in the quiet corners of rural Japan, where I witnessed the subtle strength of women holding communities together.

 

It’s about Angel—a woman who leaves behind everything familiar

and ends up discovering who she really is in a place she never expected to call home.

She meets Aki, a formidable village matriarch hiding a painful secret. Through whispered confessions, clashing cultures, and unlikely friendships,

Angel begins to see herself with new eyes.

 

Writing The Naked Gaijin was like holding up a mirror—not just to a foreign land,

but to the parts of ourselves we sometimes lose in translation.
