I am home. in the book.

A reader recently met with me and showed me all the asterisks and dog-eared pages in the book marking the places that moved her most. It was delightful to find that many of the sentences I had struggled with were in that group.

You can probably imagine my pleasure in reading this later: “I am home. is a book about searching and connecting with yourself, with loss, with love, with who you are and who you want to be, through life experiences and change. In I am home., this path is seldom straightforward, much like the author’s discourse, which gently goes back and forth in time in a way that seems almost unconscious, much like our thoughts, and our emotions. In this search for home, the author’s voice comes through as genuine and honest where self-respect and dignity are non-negotiable conditions of this search.

I thoroughly enjoyed I am home. Maili’s writing is uplifting and insightful. It’s inspirational.”

“Look what book traveled to Ochos Rios with me! It is so interesting to read about such an adventurous life. Marianne is an inspiration from modeling to writing to translating to teaching. She has seen and learned so much. There’s nothing she can’t do! I finished the book and loved every minute while I was reading it. It’s beautifully written. I cried and I laughed. I love page 136. I’m asking my book club to read this!”
