In “My mother puts a flower behind my ear”, author Marinel De Jesus, who left her 15-year career as a civil rights attorney in Washington DC to pursue the life of a global mountain trekker, reflects on her toxic relationship with her late mother. Through a medium who channels the spirit of the dead in the Andes mountains of Peru, she finds herself confronting her mom from the dimension of the afterlife. Her mother now presents herself as the mom who has always been with her, who hears her thoughts and sees her life – the mom who she hoped she would be. Marinel is sadly reminded of the wasted chance she and her mother had when she was still living but feeling positive by the transformations they have arrived at as their true selves. Marinel’s grandparents and father hail from Camarines Norte.
