A Memoir

By: Maya Golden

Narrated by: Maya Golden

At age thirty, 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 nonprofit organization—Maya’s story chronicles and dissects her journey to find purpose out of the trauma.
