On the Way to Casa Lotus

A Memoir of Family, Art, Injury, and Forgiveness

De: Lorena Junco Margain

Narrado por: Lorena Junco Margain

Lorena Junco Margain - passionate art collector and devoted wife and mother - is already shaken after abruptly fleeing Mexico and relocating in the USA with her family while pregnant due concerns for their safety. Then, she learns she has a tumor on her adrenal gland. Having long experienced unexplained symptoms of dizziness and lethargy that neither medications nor holistic or Ayurvedic treatments have helped, she embraces the news with tears of relief: with a simple surgery, she can regain her strength and joyful spirit. But fate can be mischievous, and to err is human - even for surgeons. Rather than improve after surgery, her condition worsens.

On the Way to Casa Lotus is the gripping true story of Junco Margain’s journey coming to terms with the permanent consequences of a surgeon’s devastating mistake. Mindful that even good people make errors and that vengeance would not mend her broken body or soul, she chooses instead to embark on a quest for peace and healing - beginning by seeking space in her heart to forgive.

Deeply compassionate, wise, and poetic, On the Way to Casa Lotus lays bare some of the most poignant contradictions of the human condition, blurring the distinctions between guilt and neglectfulness, anger and sorrow, humility and shame, gratitude and despair. Rich with imagery and metaphors from the world of contemporary art, brimming with scenes from the author’s close-knit, abundantly loving Mexican family, the book plants a seed of hope that loss and pain can serve a higher purpose: one of promoting forgiveness as a force for personal and universal change.

Healing is our responsibility
Vey inspiring story of forgiveness and letting go. A must read for everyone on a journey of a fulfilling life. Caring for one another, and learning to care for ourselves is one of our greatest gifts.

An amazing story about bravery and honesty

A friend started reading this book before me and told me she couldn’t remember when was the last time she had read a book that she could’t put down, that’s exactly how I feel about this book too.

I was captivated by the author’s life story and her magic to make you feel like you are living all those moments with her and transmitting you all her distress and all her strength through out her journey.

This book is a life lesson for everyone, a story of love like Lorena herself said and an inspiration to help us all find our way to our own Casa Lotus.

This is an easy book to read, but not an easy to forget as the testimony that the author gives on this book by deciding to forgive when the easiest path was a different one will make you reflect so much on your own life in where we can learn to forgive by accepting others as they are, accepting ourselves as we are and accepting the things that we can not change and making the most of what we have.
Gracias Lorena for opening your heart to us and touching our lives and the lives of so many people..

This book is highly recommended
