Originally from Greece, Eleni Marinos is a survivor, a retired fashion designer, and a great-grandmother. All of these experiences have shaped the person she is today and inspired her to tell her story. My Heart in My Hands: Becoming the Person I Was Meant to Be is her first book. First published in 2024, the first edition has been translated into three languages. When she is not writing, Eleni enjoys practicing yoga and meditation. She lives in Brownsburg-Chatham, Quebec, with her husband, John.
