Searching for Home

By Maggi A Petton

Olivia is married to the perfect man, until...

We are all here on a journey—the journey to ourselves. Where we end up may actually entail endless new routes on the way to finding ourselves, creating multiple starts and restarts, new and more frightening roads to choose, and the opening of ourselves to more hardships, losses, gifts and treasures along the way. In Searching for Home, Maggi Petton explores the realities of how, if we summon the courage to face fears, we may discover pieces of ourselves in each new adventure, until we can baptize our souls in the redemption of our own awakening.

Maggi’s Olivia Russo represents each of us—especially women—who find ourselves thrown into the disasters and hopes of life. Olivia faces every new trail and trial with strength and courage—beginning on one side of the world and ending on the opposite side. But, as she struggles to understand the confused feelings about her life, her ultimate struggle undoes her in ways that nearly destroy her. Olivia is every woman in one way or another, searching for the divine within her that is everything holy and sacred within us all.
