“William Stephan’s Rendezvous in Tahiti is memoir and adventure story, natural history and romance all rolled into a single page-turner of a book. I found myself alternately enthralled by his descriptions of the places he visited as an International Tour Director and moved by his experiences as a Vietnam vet finding his way in a changed and changing world. A highly enjoyable read.” ―Alison McGhee, New York Times bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize nominee

“William Stephan is an artist in every sense of the word. I have had a personal love affair with the Islands of Tahiti for 24 years. Surprisingly, Stephan’s words immediately swept me off my couch in Los Angeles and back into the wild, sensual, fragrant islands that I love. This is a brilliant story.” ―Jonathan Reap, President & CEO Tahiti Tourisme North America

“William Stephan opens a door to the world of the International Tour Director―and once we cross that threshold, we are rewarded with a true love story set among some of the most beautiful and far-flung places on the planet.” ―Sheila Seiler Lagrand, Ph.D., bestselling author and editor

The author invites you to go along on the incredible adventure that follows.
