About the Author

Maritza Perez

Maritza Perez

Maritza Perez is a writer, mother of three, and lifelong seeker of spiritual truth. Her journey has been marked by growth, resilience, and a willingness to ask honest questions about faith, identity, and freedom.

In her debut book, From Shackles to Freedom: A Born Again Story, Maritza shares her personal story of rediscovering God beyond fear and religious performance. She writes not as an expert, but as someone who has walked through uncertainty and found deeper peace on the other side. Her hope is to remind readers that questioning does not weaken faith — it can refine it.

By profession, Maritza serves as a pharmacy leader in Florida, helping expand access to affordable healthcare for underserved communities. Her work reflects her commitment to service; her writing reflects her heart.

In addition to her book, she writes essays on Medium at medium.com/@maritzaperez71, where she explores themes of faith, growth, relationships, and the courage to live authentically. Through her words, she hopes readers feel seen, strengthened, and gently encouraged to pursue truth with confidence.

Maritza believes freedom begins within — and that it is never too late to grow into who you were meant to be.

“My story is not unique. It belongs to every person who has ever looked at their circumstances and dared to believe they were made for more.”
