A woman's determination, a mother's love, and the will to survive. In the winter of 2014, Mauricia Ambrose sat in her doctor's office listening to the ways she could die on the operating table. She faced a chilling reality: the fear of losing her son, Louis. Despite adopting him just two years earlier as a single mom, Mauricia found herself battling kidney failure and a job that drained her. Determined to leave a legacy, she needed Louis to know who she was before she died. She wrote him letters every day with the hope that he would look back and remember he was loved. Those letters fueled her desire to live; she couldn't let her beautiful baby boy disappear back into foster care. She had to be strong. She had to survive. Turn into the Storm is a story of resilience, rediscovery, and reinvention. It is the journey of a woman who recognizes her power through adversity and finds unconditional love through motherhood. It is a story of hope and strength—hope that comes from faith and strength that comes through surviving lupus, kidney failure, and burnout. Mauricia's story serves as a powerful reminder that our struggles shouldn't define us; they're our fuel for growth. “This book will bring you to tears. There’s not enough I can say about Mauricia. She takes you along a journey that leaves you inspired. The personal letters to Louis are breathtaking and left me in awe. Be prepared for an emotional roller coaster that will leave you wanting to encourage others. “ - Jamie Rockymore-Bess, Founder of Helpful Living Magazine. “Turn Into The Storm Is a heartfelt narrative of unconditional love and resilience. Through Mauricia's letters to Louis, the readers are taken into the core of a mother's love for her son as she battles a severe illness. It's an emotional roller coaster of a parent's love.” - Damian Kinsey, Co-Owner of the Virtual Wellness Experience and the 2350 Network. "Mauricia has written a beautiful autobiography that details the emotional and medical complexities of living with a chronic illness, all while providing for a child as a single-parent. As a Rheumatologist and also a mother, Mauricia’s story touched my heart, reminding me of the brilliant lives our patients living with systemic lupus erythematosus lead once they leave the physician’s office." - Dr. Megan Himmel MD, PhD, FRCPC Rheumatology & Internal Medicine. “Beautifully told, a deeply personal story of perseverance and hope, in which many will find some reflection of themselves.”
