"A book like no other, I Am Maria weaves Shriver's hard-earned wisdom with her own deeply personal poetry. I Am Maria reminds readers there is strength and love on the other side of all of our hardest days. I Am Maria is a powerful collection of Maria Shriver's own poems that grapple with identity, grief, love, loss, longing, heartbreak, and healing. Her deeply personal poems address life's transitions, challenges, successes, and failures. Vulnerable and deeply moving, Shriver's words are a collection of her life experiences woven into poetry to inspire everyone on their own journey. They are also an invitation for readers to write their own personal poetry, reclaiming the art as accessible to everyone and a tool to look within. I Am Maria is a road map for anyone trying to shed the labels, layers, and armor that hold us back from creating a wildly authentic and meaningful life."-- Dust jacket flap.
