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, "e;Growing up in Guyana built the foundation of hard work, working for everything you need, and learning the importance of independence and self-efficacy."e;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.
