Book Review: Maria’s Adventurous Life

Maria Dominick, the daughter of a diplomat, has lived a glamorous life filled with international travel, love, and friendship. She speaks five languages and has been married and divorced three times. 

Currently, Dominick splits her time between her European homes and New York City. Maria’s Adventurous Life is her debut novel.

Based on a true story (with names changed to protect the fabulous!), Maria’s Adventurous Life,  by new author Maria Dominick, begins as a young Maria decides to escape her homeland to the parent-free, exciting lights of Europe.

As a beautiful Brazilian fashion model, Maria is thrilled to have fun with friends and explore love, Paris, and the world. Along the way she meets the men of her life – some of whom bring her much joy, but also great disappointments… and, occasionally, affect her confidence. 

Surrounded by wealth, celebrities, beautiful people, and glamorous places, Maria overcomes the ups and down of her affairs with the support of her family, friends, and most of all, her own courageous spirit. 

“Everything has its time in life and I did it all at the right ones,” says Dominick. “Now I am enjoying Milan, my apartment, and mostly, being a ‘Nonna’ for my gorgeous grandchildren. I hope to stay here for a long time!”

Maria’s Adventurous Life is available for purchase at Amazon.
