My Own Magic is a true, coming-of-age story about a woman rediscovering the magic that was always inside her.

It was Anna Kloots’ innate sense of adventure and love for the unknown that led her to move abroad, travel to eighty countries around the world, start a business, and marry a world-champion magician, all before her mid-twenties. From the outside, her jet-setting lifestyle alongside her husband looked perfect. But as she explored deeper, and let each destination challenge, change, and shape her, Anna began to realize that perfection was just another illusion. 

Despite what appeared to be a glamorous existence full of globetrotting adventures, behind the scenes, Anna Kloots felt invisible in her own life. Consumed by a marriage, that left no space for her own desires, she chose to reframe the failure of her marriage as an opportunity to begin again. Though she appeared to have all the freedom in the world she was trapped inside a box, slowly disappearing. When her marriage ended, Anna decided to use her unhappy ending as a chance for a new beginning. 

Now, for every woman searching for her voice, Anna shares her story of starting over by trusting the magic that was always within. Following Anna’s extensive travels from the bustling streets of Jaipur to the canals of Venice to the desert of Dubai, Anna’s memoir is proof that travel can transform you, inspire you, and even save you. So many people have said she is the real life “Emily in Paris!”
