This story was born from a place of truth, pain, healing, and hope.
It's not just Maya's story.
It's for everyone who has ever felt invisible, unheard, or unloved.
If you saw yourself in these pages—know that you're not alone.
If you cried, smiled, or remembered a part of yourself you'd forgotten—thank you for walking with me.
This book is a reminder that no matter what tried to break you…
You're still here. And that matters more than anything.
From the bottom of my heart,
Thank you for reading.
