Landscapes of a Heart, Whispers of a Soul

Bloom to the fullest along the cutting edges of life. A memoir of a thriving brave heart in canton Tessin, in a season where dusk eats fast a bright cold day as she carries a leaf of hope for a hopeful outlook for tomorrow amidst the painful effects of traumatic experiences where her constant, patient, enduring hope for respect, home, peace, family and happiness woven in each page from the grace of wisdom acquired in her struggles while living in Switzerland. An immigrant and an expatriate carrying the stigma of a divorcee, a defiant victim and survivor who thrived against slander, bullying, aggression, threats, manipulations, deceptions, discrimination, racism, dehumanisation, and abuse; who struggled and thrived along hearts of all ages and souls of different facets by being an island of fortress in an ocean of challenges. A new beginning with a unique vision of a life lived, caught in memories along various landscapes of a Swiss-Italian-Filipino expat that has endured a kaleidoscope of challenges: fall and rise, loss and gain, failed and succeeded, discriminated and respected, abused, rejected, healed, and loved.
