SPIRITS IN MY SPIRITUALITY MEMOIR OF A HOMESTEAD
Spirits in My Spirituality: Memoir Of A Homestead follows a profound geographic and emotional journey centered around a century-old family homestead. It spans a lifetime of survival, grit, and spiritual awakening, capturing the exact moments where the physical world collides with the ethereal.
The High Stakes of the Open Road
Stepping into this reality meant living on house money, where every single day is treated like a surprise party from Yahweh. Navigating this pivot required facing severe physical vulnerabilities, living with disability and agoraphobia, and surviving the literal wreckage of a life completely overturned. It is the story of someone who has hovered right at the edge of death multiple times, only to find that the ultimate stake is not the fear of passing, but the terror of leaving loved ones behind before the truth is told.
An Emotional and Geographic Journey
The Incurable Stings of Time: Confronting the slow, brutal losses of anchors like Papa and Uncle Johnny, and learning that time remains the cruelest thief of all.
The Ghosts of the Cellar: Standing frozen in the literal and figurative ice of generational trauma, processing the dark shadow of Uncle Gus and the heavy family secrets hidden beneath identical roofs.
The Weight of Sudden Rupture: Revisiting the haunting memory of the 1975 causeway crash, the blinding white light of a near-death experience, and the lingering grief of a world changed in a single, five-minute collision.

About The Author
HEIDI VOGEL MARQUIS
Heidi Vogel Marquis writes with heart, humor, and authenticity drawn from her life experiences. Her stories explore resilience, love, and the quiet strength found in life’s most unexpected moments. Emerging from a life that felt like a beautifully chaotic train wreck, she traded the predictable safety of a high-status professional path to look her history in the eye.
“Yes, it’s true, I’m not afraid of dying. I’m afraid of not living.”
With zero preparation for the emotional toll of full vulnerability, she looked back at a lifetime spent navigating close quarters, family traumas, and a decades-long career. She wrote this book because she believes the wood and plaster of our lives absorb our truest emotions, and a part of us always remains. Her past profession colors her current outlook, teaching her that readers can smell a lie from a mile away, prompting her to offer hope through messy, unvarnished truth. Today, she lives surrounded by family, memories, and her ever-curious spirit for storytelling.

It’s A Masterpiece For Readers
Our book club spent three hours debating the family dynamics in these pages. It is rare to find an author who can pivot from gut-wrenching grief to laugh-out-loud humor in a single sentence. Unforgettable.

An absolute powerhouse of a memoir. The raw energy of the 1975 car crash section had my heart hammering. It is an adventure of the soul that refuses to play it safe.

This book is a masterclass in honesty. Heidi talks about the things people usually hide at dinner parties, and that is exactly why you trust her completely from page one.

A deeply moving exploration of what it means to inherit a home, a history, and a spiritual gift. It made me look at the walls of my own house differently.
