Critics Review
“THE RETURN TRIP is a blessed blueprint for anyone seeking freedom from the shackles of shame, guilt, and trauma. Maya Golden’s vulnerability, candor, and powerful storytelling shook me to my core. Her story is inspirational in the deepest, rawest sense of the word—zero platitudes and sentimentality, 100% real and transformative. A beautiful gift to survivors and to those suffering in silence.” – Deesha Philyaw, author of The Secret Lives of Church Ladies
