Critics Review
“A memoir that looks upon the self’s journey with tender attention and generous care.” - Kirkus Reviews
“With breathtaking honesty and extraordinary grace, Becoming the Ocean is a memoir that reminds us healing is rarely a straight path-but it is always possible. Erin Russ transforms life’s deepest heartbreaks into a story of courage, compassion, and quiet strength that will leave readers feeling both seen and inspired. Her voice is intimate, fearless, and impossible to forget. This is the kind of book you’ll press into the hands of someone you love and say, ‘You need to read this.’” -Samantha Olsen, Los Angeles Book Review
Erin Russ
Erin Russ lives in Southern California with her partner and son. She spent two years sailing across the Pacific Ocean on her boat, S/V Delos-an experience that still shapes her and informs the questions she asks on the page.
Her writing explores themes of grief and betrayal, the ways we perform goodness, and the long journey home to authenticity. When she’s not writing, she is hiking on the trails near her home or frolicking in the chilly Pacific Ocean.
Becoming the Ocean is her debut memoir.
