My first book, Starving In Search of Me: A Coming-of-Age Story of Overcoming an Eating Disorder and Finding Self-Acceptance (Mango, 2018), and my second book, Everyone Is a Freak: Anonymous Confessions About Sex, Sexuality, and Desire (Pilot Press, 2019), both incorporate the themes of sexuality and self-discovery. With my own work, I strive to empower individuals who fall outside of the “status quo” (nonconformists, truth-seekers, the LGBTQ+ community, and members of other marginalized groups) to journey into self-awareness, embrace their individuality, and challenge social conventions. http://www.marissalarocca.com/books daily 0.75 2019-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56ac269f1f40397fbfd28312/1554750766541-XTADQ94ETH1KTOZAEDKY/mock03.png Books - Too many people experience shame around sex. But in reality, when it comes to sexuality and desire, there is no such thing as "normal." Beneath the labels and masks we hide behind, we are all equally human. Everyone Is a Freak unleashes the voices of sex and gender outlaws and "ordinary" people, challenging social expectations. The collection includes essays and quotes from individuals of various genders and sexual orientations. These intimate confessions will empower humans everywhere to "come out of the closet," so to speak—to be more vulnerably honest and less afraid. From funny and embarrassing sex scandals and zany fetishes... to heartwrenching confessions about discrimination and oppression, Everyone Is a Freak will make you laugh, cry, and lower your guard to humanity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56ac269f1f40397fbfd28312/1515565172895-7MBPG9WZ9ZBAG2CX4GA1/StarvingInSearchOfMe_Twitter_post.jpg Books - Finding the courage to be yourself An intimate and offbeat memoir that penetrates the heart and mind, Starving in Search of Me is a companion piece for young adults who have struggled with eating disorders or other issues related to body image, identity, sexuality, and trying to find their voice in a modern world that can feel dangerous and overwhelming. The book provides readers an opportunity to be themselves, in addition to tools and resources to help them heal, cope, and live a more authentic life. http://www.marissalarocca.com/pilotpress88 daily 0.75 2020-08-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56ac269f1f40397fbfd28312/1554753391868-ID77YASZCCMTIWJIZIGB/3.png PILOT PRESS2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56ac269f1f40397fbfd28312/1554753379636-MN95Q0F1537YDWOQAAK4/2.png PILOT PRESS2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56ac269f1f40397fbfd28312/1558644174935-6VPP063NI2K2MMN6UCQI/Untitled+design.png PILOT PRESS2 - Want to invest less to get going?
