Reviews"I read this book on a rainy day, sitting in my window seat, and I wept. I wept because I've known Maria since we were in our 20s, and in this book she has opened her soul and allowed all of us--anyone who has ever experienced feelings of loss or grief or not being enough--in. Maria's poems lead us to the open field, a place of self-love, healing, and home. It is an astonishing work and I am so proud of my friend and the woman she has become." --Oprah Winfrey "I love I Am Maria for the same reasons I love Maria Shriver: her courage and honesty, depth, wisdom, and charm. These reminiscences and poems are so fresh and personal, about the joy and heartbreak of one woman's life, the hope she has found in the dark times, and the abiding light of love." --Anne Lamott, bestselling author "With an elegance befitting her stature, Maria ventures courageously beneath the surface of her storied life through poetry, beckoning us to meet the truest version of ourselves within this universal medium of self-discovery--the one that perseveres through life's challenges so we can reemerge stronger and brighter than before." --Rich Roll, bestselling author of Finding Ultra & host of The Rich Roll Podcast "Maria Shriver is one of my heroes because her energy radiates grace and compassion. Her new book I Am Maria is a must-read for anyone and everyone looking to excavate their inner voice and heal their soul. Her 'reporter' poetry written from the front lines of her life is a source of encouragement and inspiration that will help people transform their lives for the better." --Yung Pueblo #1 New York Times bestselling author "I am a better leader, a better friend, a better son, brother and uncle because of Maria Shriver. Most importantly, I am a better version of myself. Maria is able to give advice and offer a perspective in words that I am able to hear. I smiled when I read I Am Maria because the poems are exactly the way Maria talks to me. Reading her book felt like she was sitting right next to me. And now she can sit right next to you too." --Simon Sinek, Optimist, NYT bestselling author of Start With Why and host of the podcast, A Bit of Optimism "After a demanding, award-winning journalism career and tireless work as an activist on many fronts, Shriver has dedicated herself to writing and publishing books that illuminate paths to self-care. Here she shares the key to how she found a way forward after devastating losses: writing poetry. Not literary poetry, but wholly personal poetry expressing and exploring "raw, authentic" emotions... Shriver's openhearted, easily read poems, with universal feelings at their core, chart her painful yet liberating self-analysis leading to self-love. The goal of her poetry is 'to embrace the whole of life...to grow and evolve.' She encourages everyone to do the same." -- Booklist, "I read this book on a rainy day, sitting in my window seat, and I wept.
