![]() (PRESS RELEASE)_Jupiter, FL (November 17, 2023) — Ines Ferrari Garcia, a multi-talented creative spirit, has taken the literary world by storm with her debut novel, "Saving Marina," which has been recognized as a 2023 American Fiction Awards Finalist by American Book Fest. This heartfelt work of fiction has also received accolades from Kirkus Reviews, where it was praised for its profound themes and engaging storytelling. Garcia's love for storytelling has been a lifelong passion, but at an early age she recognized the importance of gaining real-life experiences to become a captivating storyteller. Inspired by her life journey and the renovation of a historic home in El Cid, West Palm Beach, Garcia wrote her first novel, "Saving Marina." The poignant and evocative tale revolves around a middle-aged mother navigating the unearthing of repressed past traumas while embarking on a life-changing renovation project.
"Through 'Saving Marina,' I've woven threads from my life experiences and my profession as an interior designer," said Garcia. "Life's challenges are the bricks that build the houses of our stories, and every room promises a new beginning. Saving Marina is ultimately a story of hope." The novel has also garnered recognition and praise from Kirkus Reviews, which describes the novel as follows: "Over the course of this novel, Garcia truly excels at conveying rich themes of family, trauma, womanhood, and finding one's sense of purpose on every page. The plot proceeds at an even pace, and each scene feels thoughtfully developed and often captivating." Beyond her literary achievements, Ines Ferrari Garcia and her architect husband have successfully operated a business for over twenty-five years. An accomplished Interior Designer specializing in the hospitality industry, Garcia’s clients have included Marriott Hotels & Resorts, IHG Hotels, Hilton Hotels, and the Maltz Jupiter Theatre. She is an avid traveler, often exploring historic cities and towns where she immerses herself in the architecture, interior design, and local cuisine, drawing inspiration from the world around her. When she's not crafting narratives or designing interiors, you can find her strolling along the South Florida beaches, fully embracing the local lifestyle.
