Page by page, experience the incredible true life story of Dr. Maxine Elm, a clinical professor and trained nurse who fought her way through migration, grief, death, and trauma to create the beautiful life she lives today.
When she was a young girl, Maxine grew up in Guyana, South America dreaming about what her life would look like. She reveled in sun-soaked days among neighborhood friends and cousins, listening to the elders' Nancy stories and attending piano lessons twice a week at her local church. As she describes, Growing up in Guyana built the foundation of hard work, working for everything you need, and learning the importance of independence and self-efficacy.
Those values would become even more important as Maxine grew up and migrated to the United States at 20 years old. Through a rocky first marriage, the loss of a child, financial hardships, and a new career path, Maxine put every lesson she learned as a child-and more-to work to create a better life for herself and her children.
A Place To Call Home is an incredible, emotional journey through one courageous woman's stunning life. Embark on a quest through Maxine's memories, including her move to America, her first marriage, rising from the ashes out of grief, and becoming a woman, wife, mother, and professional she's proud to be.
Full of detailed description of Maxine's mental, emotional, and spiritual struggles to find a place to call home, this memoir will resonate with any reader who has felt lost in life. It's a great read for men and women alike, as well as those who have lost children, gone through a divorce, or struggled to find themselves and their life purpose amid overwhelming trauma and grief.
