Silent Cry, Loud Echo: God Heard Me
Even when it seems like we are all alone, God is always with us. That is the central message in this memoir by Dr. Selene Maya Author, who was born the youngest of ten children in a Hindu home in Guyana, South America.
She and her siblings grow up living off the land, and she develops a passion for true healing during her adolescent years, working to find answers for herself, her family, and society at large.
At age fourteen, she immigrates to the United States of America, and it isn't long before she is working two jobs, including at a department store.
She thinks nothing of it when the store manager-also from Guyana-befriends her, but it's all a ploy so he can brutally rape her when he gets her alone. From that day on, work is a degrading and humiliating experience.
For years, she suffers from low self-esteem and feels alone, but when all hope seems lost, she cries out to Jesus. He hears her cry and retrieves her from a lonely place to set her feet on solid rock.
Join the author on a real-life Cinderella story that shows the power of perseverance, family, faith, and prayer.

Another wonderful novel by Dr. Author!! A beautifully written autobiography that shares laughter and heartaches! While reading there were several times I had to put the book down to collect myself just because the writing is so real and honest-something I haven't experienced in so long but was very much needed. Reading about the pain and suffering Dr. Author experienced at the hands of those she trusted and loved the most was jaw dropping and the experiences and encounters with God and angels were humbling. This is truly a novel full of gems for everyone, especially for those who feel stuck or lost. This book is a reminder that God is always with us, and that God hears all of our cries! Be blessed!

I would like to thank Dr. Author for sharing her riveting life's story. Her story will take you on a roller coaster ride of emotions leaving you wondering how one survives such tumultuous circumstances. She explains just how her true love relationship with God carried her through some of the most harrowing trials of this life's journey. Definitely a must read!
