Exotica

Mariah Rodrigues was already a successful businesswoman in real estate, fashion, and many
other exciting entrepreneurial ventures when she got divorced. Determined to connect with
her own soul and find her true love, Mariah moved to the United States with her two sons,
bringing her eclectic Brazilian identity along to her new American life, ready to love again with
all her soul.
In Exotica, Mariah's personal memoir of love, she bravely tells her true story of the seven men
she met along her journey, each one metaphorically represented by an exotic fruit, for readers
to savor them as well.
It was with her bold and beautiful heart that Mariah opened herself to new life opportunities
and realized she was ready to love, even if it meant feeling pain again. She had been betrayed
and hurt time after time, but that did not diminish her willingness to continue believing in the
possibility of true love.
Mariah's most recent experience, shared in the last chapter of her book from the seven fruits
that became a part of her life, tells a real tale of destiny that led her to finding a special place in
her heart for Jose: The real character portrayed in Eat, Pray, Love through Javier Bardem's
mesmerizing performance of Felipe.
Exotica is a flavorful saga about a woman who discovers her undeniable courage to give life all
the passion it deserves. Do you crave to love again? Join Mariah on her fascinating and
inspirational quest and unravel your personal unique power to live your own fantastic
