Lorena Junco Margain-passionate art collector, devoted wife, and mother-is already shaken after fleeing Mexico with her family while pregnant due to concerns for their safety. Then she learns she has a tumor on her adrenal gland. Having long experienced unexplained symptoms 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.
Deeply compassionate, wise, and poetic, On the Way to Casa Lotus is the gripping true story of Junco Margain coming to terms with the permanent consequences of a surgeon's devastating mistake as she embarks on a quest for peace and healing. On the Way to Casa Lotus lays bare some of the most poignant contradictions of the human condition, planting 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.
