Maria Cuccia – Author of "His Name is Elijah"

Maria Cuccia is an author and speaker whose gift for storytelling draws readers into extraordinary

worlds of mystery, memory, and meaning. Born in Queens, New York, and raised along the tranquil

beaches and coastal towns of Long Island, she developed an early reverence for nature and the

limitless reach of imagination.

Her life changed forever in 1992 when she encountered a mysterious boy named Elijah during a

transcendent experience. Non-human beings revealed him as her son, setting her on a profound

journey of introspection, spiritual awakening, and the search for truth. Unafraid to share her

experiences, Maria has spoken openly about her story on national television, radio, and podcasts,

captivating audiences with her thoughtful and grounded perspective on the unexplained.

In her memoir, His Name is Elijah, Maria reveals the deeply personal events that reshaped her

understanding of reality. More than a memoir, it is the beginning of a larger journey that continues

to unfold as she explores the mysteries that first revealed themselves to her more than three decades ago.
