Alternatively, if you have the book, we can use a scan/photo of your copy for the cover and the page with the publication information (you can upload a scan/photo of your own to the "more photos..." section of your profile (https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new) in the browser, not the app), then copy the link here and a librarian can add it. Make sure you state the source of the photo in the text and that your account settings are public (not private).

Because the required scan/photo of the book's publication page is intended for us to check/verify (a.o.) the ISBN, a larger size would have made the information better legible.

The World Is My Mirror is the story of a radical midlife reinvention told through vivid, self-contained vignettes that move across every continent, country, and forgotten corner of the world.
At the height of her career as a scientist, Dr. Riza Rasco’s pursuit of success, belonging, and motherhood collapsed under the weight of infertility, burnout, and grief. With no plan and no certainty, she walked away from her marriage, home, and profession, setting out alone on what became a decade-long journey through physical, emotional, and spiritual landscapes. Each place Rasco visited reflected an unspoken truth, offering lessons in resilience, humility, and belonging. Along the way, she founded a social enterprise in West Africa and the Philippine Global Explorers, now the world’s largest national travel club, dedicated to education, heritage preservation, and giving back.
For readers navigating burnout, loss, or transition, The World Is My Mirror is both a love letter to travel and a meditation on the courage it takes to let go of what no longer fits and to trust the uncharted road toward a truer self.
