About
Alicia M. Rodriguez is a Latina writer and published author who has lived in six countries and traveled extensively. She is gifted with the sensitivity to explore themes of culture, spirituality, storytelling, and magic that can be attributed to her Colombian roots and love of Latin American literature.

Her belief that we are spiritual beings having a human experience led her from corporate boardrooms to the rainforests, mountains, and coast of Ecuador where she spent eight years with an Ecuadorian shaman. She now lives in the Algarve of Portugal where her morning cliff walks with her dog Sophie contribute to her creativity and happiness.

The Shaman's Wife: A Mystical Journey of Surrender and Self-Discovery
When Alicia Rodriguez, a successful entrepreneur recovering from divorce and loss, accepts an invitation to Ecuador to help a friend who is studying with a shaman, she has no idea how profoundly the decision will change her life’s course.
In Ecuador, Alicia meets Napo, a powerful shaman, and they begin an extraordinary relationship that spans two continents and eight years. Alicia learns the principles of shamanism and witnesses Napo’s remarkable healing abilities. Confronted with the illusion of her life in the United States, she decides to move to Ecuador to be with him, and they make plans to build a healing center together on the coast. Within a short time, however, she realizes that she has surrendered her power and agency to Napo—who now wields it as a weapon against her. After years of inner struggle, she finally finds the courage to leave Ecuador and moves to Portugal, where she finds peace . . . until an unexpected phone call rekindles old memories.
An extraordinary memoir steeped in spirituality, shamanism and metaphysics, The Shaman’s Wife is the story of a woman who, through a daring journey of self-discovery, reclaims and embraces her feminine wisdom—and realizes that love is the answer to her lifelong spiritual quest.
