Author Mary Riem

Mary Riem lived the American dream. Her childhood in Seattle, Washington, was idyllic, infused by a wholesome family and faith. As she grew into a woman—and an agnostic—her ambition and passion led her to achieve success in many areas of her life. Riem dreamed of adventurous travel, and she realized her goal to experience the world on her terms. She seemed to have it all.

But instead of great contentment, Riem found herself deep in despair, battling an eating disorder and drug addiction.

Journey to Peace

Riem shares her account of the dramatic ways that God revealed himself to her, and she tells why as an adult she became a Christian after many years of agnosticism. She narrates stories of her global travel, including a life-impacting experience working for Mother Teresa in India.

A memoir, Journey to Peace tells how Riem transformed from one who constantly sought new experiences to satisfy her longings to a person of contentment and peace.
