About the Book

This is the biography of Maya B., a beautiful, young Swiss whose longing to escape the restraints of her straight-laced homeland set her on a global quest for love, freedom and adventure. Like many, she tried young marriage and motherhood, but that gave way to the call of the sea and six years of exploring the South Pacific, the deserts of Australia and the jungles of India. It was a time of women's liberation, awareness and self-expression. Maya became an artist, studied ballet, karate and flying. She threw herself fully into the New Age and got involved with every kind of man from artists to sea captains looking for the perfect match. Not every adventure ended well. She was sometimes homeless, searching for food in the trash. Her rebellious nature resulted in trouble with the law, and her fearlessness led to brushes with death from drowning at sea to being beaten and gang-raped by foreign legionnaires. After fifty years of adventure and of adversity, Maya remains strong, outspoken and optimistic. She continues to fight for artistic and personal freedom. Her book is a poignant statement about survival, following your dreams, the complexity of human nature and relationships, and the importance of empathy for our fellow travelers on the road of life.
About the Author: I am an artist currently living with my dear partner in Brittany, France. I lived my life from adventure to adventure on different parts of the globe in search of truth and freedom and to find my ideal partner. Often my friends advised me to write my memoirs. Lawrence Dahl, a writer whom I met in the south of France, and I, became good friends. We met frequently in the Hotel Luxembourg in Lezignan and he took notes of my experiences and wanted to write a book about my life. He then met a woman from the U.S.A. and the happy pair moved to the United States. Before he left, he told me that I owed it to the world to share my memories, and that I should write my autobiography. I replied that I would do so when I was older since I still had some more intensive living in front of me, before I would be ready. Thanks to Lawrence's encouragement I started to write my autobiography in 2007 and it took me three years to complete it. The book is a true account of the events of my life as I remember them. Others may have a differing viewpoint. I hope that you will enjoy reading my life story as much as I did both living it and writing about it.
