What happens when a woman follows a call across continents—and falls in love with a shaman?

The Shaman’s Wife is a true spiritual memoir about love, surrender, and awakening through a profound relationship rooted in indigenous wisdom.

After divorce and loss, Alicia M. Rodriguez accepts an invitation to Ecuador that will change her life. What begins as a journey of curiosity and healing leads her into the world of shamanic tradition—and into a powerful, life-altering love with a man who embodies both spiritual wisdom and deep complexity.

As their relationship unfolds across cultures and years, Alicia is initiated not only into shamanic ways of seeing, but into the deeper truths of power, devotion, illusion, and self-abandonment. Through ceremony, travel, and intimate encounters with the unseen, she confronts the ways women are conditioned to surrender themselves in the name of love—and the cost of doing so.

This memoir is not a guidebook or a romantic fantasy. It is a lived initiation.
Honest, evocative, and unflinching, The Shaman’s Wife explores the intersection of spirituality and romance, the shadow side of awakening, and the journey of reclaiming one’s voice, agency, and inner authority.

Perfect for readers drawn to spiritual memoirs, transformational travel, shamanic wisdom, and stories of women awakening through love, loss, and profound self-discovery.

If you loved Eat, Pray, Love but longed for something deeper, darker, and more spiritually complex—this story meets you there.
