Maria's lifetime search for love and belonging prepared her to write about finding her soul (self) and understanding beliefs, patterns, and behaviors that keep us from the truth. Her debut novel is a gut-wrenching tale of spiritual transformation. Just short of breaking her spirit she finds the treasures in the wreckage, unconditional love, and inner peace she had been searching for her whole life.
Maria lives in Southern California with her two dogs and revolving door adult children. She teaches pilates, and in her spare time is a master emailer, letter writing warrior and Facebook smart aleck.
