NO. 204 IS GOING HOME
A true story of survival, love, motherhood and being human.
It’s time. Time to let this story travel the world. I started to write this book in January 2005, and I guess I needed this time to let it all mature before I was ready to let it go, ready to give it wings of its own. Now is the right time. I know that.
This is not a Tsunami book – it’s a book about being a human.
A book about losing yourself and finding yourself again.
You, but so very different.
It’s about feeling as a failure as a parent when your children needed you the most and to deal with that feeling of guilt.
It’s a love story. About love for life. For family. For ourselves.
It’s a story about forgiveness. It took some time for me to forgive myself.
To forgive the panic attacks that hit me.
To forgive the ocean.
Most of all it’s a story about being human.

ABOUT
MARIE LINDSTROM
I didn't know what passion was until I started to write books.
Time disappears, I feel neither hunger nor thirst, I am completely absorbed by the world I write about. The persons in my books become so vivid it feels like they are part of my life.
My book “No. 204 is going home” is self-perceived and therefore completely different from the Romance books I otherwise write.
I hope you will like my books, that “No. 204 is going home” provides insights that leads to something good and positive, that my upcoming Romance series during 2021 will give you the same enjoyment that I had when I wrote about Sofie living her life in Sweden and in the US. A life of love and passion develops as we get to follow her journey from young and insecure in her small hometown in Sweden to sophisticated woman.
I have loved getting to know Sofie , hope you will feel the same.
......with love as our ground and foundation,
it will be okay in the end.
