BY MARIA SAN JUAN

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Maria Filipina is a cross between a coming-of-age book and a memoir of one Filipino American’s experience and stories of personal struggles and triumphs.

Maria San Juan grew up in the small town of Salinas in the 1970s, where the minority was predominantly Hispanic people, and the majority was white. Because of the generational gap, her parents strived to provide her the best life, teaching her strict Filipino traditions and customs. She was a rebel with a cause.

Maria shares her story of finding her place in this small town, hence the world, and hopes to reach the now-majority Filipino Americans who also struggle with identity.

About the author

Maria is a mom, a legal secretary by trade, and a psychic medium/spiritual coach by calling. She currently works for a law firm in Las Vegas, Nevada, and hopes to retire in the next 20 years (or sooner, if this book thing pans out). She also owns a small psychic practice, helping others come into their own as psychics, while also offering readings and reiki healings. She enjoys sharing her stories, struggles, and triumphs so that others won’t feel alone. She is a world traveler, foodie, and loves her tequila and vodka. She also loves fashion, but she’s more of a “bougie on a budget.” Also, if “eat, drink and be merry” were a person, she’s it.
