Maria Marsh

Maria Marsh was born in Finland in 1987. As the second oldest and the only girl, she struggled to find her place in the world. She married her first husband when she was only 19; it lasted over 10 years, giving the couple a daughter, Joanna, in 2010. In 2013 her husband was diagnosed with colon cancer, and within a year it was terminal. Three-and-a-half years later he succumbed to his illness, leaving behind a 6-year-old daughter and a 29-year-old widow. She found her strength to go on in her daughter and in writing. Although she had been writing various stories since her teenage years, she now had a story that needed sharing, a story that wouldn’t stay in her cupboard. A real story, of love, of hardship, of forgiveness, the story of her life she never saw coming. Maria moved with her daughter to all the way to England to start over. She remarried in 2018 and is now happy fulfilling her lifelong dream of writing full time.
