Shaken Awake: A Memoir on Identity and Connection (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9782982457805)

A hidden truth. A life turned upside down. A journey that changes everything.

In Shaken Awake, Marie Lynne Desrochers shares the remarkable true story of discovering her biological family and the profound personal awakening that followed. What begins as a search for answers soon becomes a transformative journey through identity, family bonds, spiritual insight, and the deep human longing for belonging.

Spanning countries, cultures, and generations, this deeply personal memoir explores how long-buried secrets shape our lives-and how facing them can open the door to healing, connection, and unexpected grace.

With warmth, vulnerability, and quiet wisdom, Desrochers reflects on love, loss, motherhood, partnership, and the invisible threads that bind us to one another. Her story invites readers to question their own assumptions, listen more closely to their inner voice, and embrace the possibility of profound change at any stage of life.

Shaken Awake will resonate with readers drawn to memoirs of self-discovery, family secrets, spiritual curiosity, and emotional healing.

Sometimes, it takes one unexpected revelation to awaken us to who we truly are.
