# About Maria Reczynska > Polish-Canadian author, engineer, and survivor of an extreme spiritual experience. ## Short biography Maria Reczynska was born in 1988 in Poland. She is a graduate of the Warsaw University of Technology, where she trained as an engineer. She holds dual Polish and Canadian citizenship and lives in Montreal, Quebec. *Trust Me Because I Trust In You* (2024, ISBN 978-1-0690494-9-0) is her debut book. She wrote it out of a sense of duty after surviving an extreme spiritual ordeal in her thirties — an experience she compares to being led into hell and left there alone. The book is her first-person testimony of how unwavering trust in God carried her through. ## Why Maria writes Maria did not set out to be an author. She is, by training and by temperament, an engineer — someone who prefers to solve problems quietly and move on. She wrote *Trust Me Because I Trust In You* because she came to believe she had no right to keep silent about what she had been shown. The book is offered, in her words, "as a small light for anyone who finds themselves in the same darkness." ## Languages Maria speaks and writes in English, French and Polish. The book itself is published in English; the author's website is fully available in all three languages. ## Background - **Born:** 1988, Poland - **Nationality:** Polish and Canadian (dual) - **Residence:** Montreal, Quebec, Canada - **Education:** Warsaw University of Technology (engineering) - **Languages:** English, French, Polish - **Topics she writes about:** faith, trust, spiritual warfare, Christian spirituality, personal growth, the inner life ## Press, interviews, speaking For interview requests, podcast appearances, speaking engagements, book-club visits, or reader correspondence, please use the contact page: https://www.trustmebecauseitrustinyou.com/contact
