It sounds like a really moving and inspiring read for anyone on a journey of self-discovery.
Excerpt from "I Am Maria" (from mariashriversundaypaper.com)
“Today, I also feel I understand my parents as human beings far better than I ever did before. I’m hopeful they understand me better as well. I hope they understand why I had to break away, and why I felt I needed to chart my own path. I’m sure that my choice to leave home caused them pain, particularly my mother. As a mother myself, I now look at those kinds of choices differently. While I don’t regret the decision to move across the country, I do wish my parents and I had figured out a better way to spend one-on-one time together—time that was meant for just us and that didn’t involve work or anything in the public eye.”
