“Faith was never meant to feel like bondage, but freedom.”
New from Maritza Perez · Out February 2026
A faith-driven memoir tracing one woman's journey through trauma, spiritual searching, and religious bondage, and, ultimately, into personal and spiritual freedom.
In this deeply honest testimony, Maritza Perez shares a story of childhood wounds, broken relationships, and years spent seeking belonging in places that promised healing but delivered fear. What unfolds is not a perfect path, but a raw, transformative journey toward freedom from shame, performance-driven faith, and the need for external validation. A story for anyone who has ever questioned, struggled, fallen, or searched for deeper truth.
A story that will stay with you long after the last page.

“The narrow road stripped me of borrowed certainty and returned me to something far more solid, God’s presence. Away from constant noise and competing voices, I began to hear Him clearly again.”
