My New Book - Coming Soon!
A Renegades's Journey To Stillness
This memoir offers a deeply personal and transformative journey of self-discovery, resilience, and mindfulness. Set in Puerto Rico during the 90s, the author, Marita, reflects on overcoming societal challenges, learning disabilities, and the oppressive forces of homophobia on a Catholic island. Through heartbreak, loss, and the pursuit of love and purpose, she navigates the complexities of finding self-acceptance. Along the way, she learns to embrace mindfulness as a means of coping and healing. Even after achieving the life she dreamed of, loss still found her. This poignant and humorous story of perseverance is paired with practical tools and strategies for readers to apply in their own quest for stillness and inner peace.The Your Truth, Your Voice Book Companion Project
