This compelling memoir takes the reader on a journey from turbulence and heartbreak to grace as it explores a fiery battle for holding one’s power and standing firm when life demands submission. It is a moving story about refusing to be defined by one’s environment.

Respected by her colleagues in law, science, and publishing, Dziezak shares openly about a dark secret held life-long of growing up enduring abuse from her mentally ill mother and later, about being among the few, if not first of, professional women in a man’s world.

There, when encountering jealousy from others, disempowerment, and sabotage, she draws upon hard-earned treasures of resilience, inner strength, wisdom, and heightened intuition cultivated during her challenging youth.

After a stream of dilemmas, she discovers the ultimate lesson: the key to moving forward.

Evoking hope and told with keen insight, Petals from Mars unfolds a look at how difficulty can blossom into self-discovery, compassion, and self-love.

“My hope is that the book inspires people to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and to reach for the stars, no matter what,” said Dziezak. “Wisdom and experience gained during difficult times can be powerful tools for navigating life and the business world. If a reader relates to even one incident set out in the book and that helps in their healing or learning, the book would have accomplished its purpose.”
