The Water Calls: One Woman's Journey to Reclaim Her Dignity and Freedom - 8701

FINALIST: 2023 Next Generation Indie Book Awards ______________________________________________________________________________________________ “A book to savor slowly and then read again and again.” —Amy Ricafrente, Owner of Amy’s Kitchen In The Water Calls, Ariana masterfully crafts a mythical journey for any woman to embark on to find her wings, her voice, her “yes,” and her “no.” What began as Ariana Strozzi Mazzucchi’s desire to understand her traumatic divorce became the revelation of a heroine’s journey. Written through the eyes and voice of “Emma,” Ariana unravels a lifetime of conditioning to fit in—to be “the good girl” and “the good wife”—convinced to hide her intuitive powers and deeply connected relationship to the natural world. Through significant life moments, Ariana shares how her animal guides, sacred relationship with horses, and the healing lessons gleaned from nature helped her heal old wounds and betrayals—and reclaim her dignity and freedom. Her personal reflections reveal how a modern-day spiritual warrioress finds her way back to her shamanic way of being. Each chapter, many adorned with her illustrations, provides inspiration from nature and her animal friends that ultimately guide Ariana through her most vulnerable and challenging undertaking: to stand tall without apology. At the end of each chapter, Ariana offers “opportunities to contemplate” and “time in nature reflections,” inviting readers to awaken to their personal transformations and take a stand for their original selves.
