By Simon Stephenson. On a trip to the jungle and Loh Dahlum beach, Simon acquires a new relative.

Let Not The Waves Of The Sea is Simon Stephenson's account of his emotional journey following the death of his brother Dominic - and his brother's girlfriend Eileen - in the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004.

Simon's journey takes him back to the scene of the disaster in Thailand, where the redemptive power of the people and the culture, which his brother loved, help the healing process.

Thirty two year old Simon Stephenson is a writer and doctor who lives in London. For several years, the Scot made his living as a screenwriter. Let Not The Waves Of The Sea is his first book.
