About this listen

At age 30, Maya Golden was living a charmed life. She was an award-winning sports reporter, a loyal wife, and a new mom. Privately, she was battling addiction, perfectionism, dissociation disorders, and rage due to sexual abuse endured at the hands of her cousin and many other predators.

But Maya wants to change. So, on a family road trip back to her Texas hometown she is ready to put an end to the secrets that threaten her marriage and her career. Three separate moments of divine intervention ultimately saved Maya’s life.

From a suicide plan to the treatment facility to launching a non-profit organization—Maya’s story chronicles and dissects her journey to find purpose out of the trauma.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

What I enjoyed most about this memoir is Maya’s vulnerability and openness. This isn’t a surface-level memoir. She vividly guides the reader through the lingering effects of trauma. Her writing style brilliantly draws you in and you instantly feel the emotions tied to her writing. Bravo, Maya! Bravo!

Vulnerability and willingness to share
