A Survivor’s Guide to Paradise
Keys to Unlocking Paradise Within
The follow-up to Escape to the Bahamas—from outer paradise to inner peace.
When Mariah Laine Moyle first sailed to the Bahamas, she thought she was chasing a dream of turquoise waters and island freedom. Instead, she found herself on a much deeper journey—one of healing, transformation, and remembering her true self.
The first part of A Survivor’s Guide to Paradise is a personal mini-memoir chronicling her sailing adventure to the Bahamas, and the following years of loss and grief. The second part offers the tools that helped her find peace along the way—practical and spiritual insights drawn from yoga, herbalism, and shamanic traditions.
Blending storytelling with grounded wisdom, this companion book to Escape to the Bahamas invites readers to look beyond the horizon and discover that paradise isn’t a place—it’s a way of being.
