Overview
In this memoir, Maya Hope Kitwana exposes her truth; showing from the inside out what was required for her to survive her childhood nightmares. These nightmares no longer torment Maya Hope Kitwana. Her story provides a lighthouse for others who have suffered abuse. A way out to discover love. A strong word of caution--the material shared isn't for everyone. Maya's story is not just a recap of unflinching secrets. This is a graphic, yet fearless look at a woman's journey through rape, incest, and abandonment--and her movement toward hope, healing, intimacy, and love. Maya charts a course that is painful and powerful.

About the Author
My name is Maya Hope Kitwana, and I’m a mother of three beautiful and generous souls. Trained as an aesthetician and holistic practitioner, I’ve made it my life’s work to bring out the beauty in—and give comfort—to those I encounter. My Caribbean heritage offers me a different perspective, and my humble beginnings keep me grounded. This journey has taken over thirty years.
Writing has become therapy for me. I am happy that I chose to step forward with my story even as I worked through feelings of shame and embarrassment. My hope is that my experiences help people going through similar traumas. I want them to know that I see them, I hear them, and wish them love and healing. Walking toward self-love and acceptance was not easy. And yet … here I AM. This is my greatest joy, and I am blessed.
