Who Told You

Before there was healing, there was heartbreak. Who Told You? is one of those rare memoirs about foster care that doesn’t hold back. It gives you the raw truth of what it means to grow up in a world that never tells you who you are, or worse, tells you lies. Rox-Anne Maistry’s story is deeply rooted in childhood trauma, the kind that doesn’t just bruise the body, but breaks the soul.

She takes us into the heart of her experience, being moved around, silenced, and overlooked, carrying emotional wounds that followed her into adulthood. This isn’t just a book about what happened to her. It’s a book about reclaiming her voice, her worth, and her faith. For anyone who has questioned their identity, especially Christian women navigating past wounds and present faith, Rox-Anne’s words are a lifeline.

In a world filled with surface-level encouragement, Who Told You? goes deeper. It’s for the woman trying to find herself in a faith she was once too hurt to trust. It’s for those who are seeking Christian books for women that feel honest, vulnerable, and healing. If you’ve ever searched for emotional healing books that speak directly to your soul, this is the one.

There’s a moment in Who Told You? when Rox-Anne stops surviving and starts healing, not because the pain disappeared, but because she chose to confront it. That’s the heart of this book: choosing faith over fear, peace over pain, and truth over trauma. Through pages that feel more like prayers, she leads readers through the winding road of recovery, where spiritual healing is intertwined with emotional rebuilding.

This isn’t one of those surface-level Christian healing books. This is for the women who cry in silence, who pray through heartbreak, and who need a reminder that God hasn’t forgotten them. Rox-Anne doesn’t offer quick-fix theology. She offers what worked for her: honesty, surrender, and love rooted in something far greater than herself.

Her journey echoes what so many trauma survivors in faith communities often keep hidden. It’s why Who Told You? belongs on every shelf of books about healing from trauma. It’s real. It’s personal. And it reminds us that spiritual growth books don’t need to be perfect; they need to be human.

If you’re looking for self-worth Christian books or stories of emotional resilience, you’ll find something sacred here, not just in Rox-Anne’s story but in your own.

In the darkest corners of Rox-Anne’s past, where pain whispered lies about who she was and who she’d never be, there was one steady light, faith. Who Told You? isn’t just a memoir of survival; it’s a living testament to what happens when God becomes more than a name and starts becoming your anchor.

This is why the book resonates so deeply with readers looking for faith-based memoirs and real-life spiritual transformation books. Rox-Anne doesn’t speak from a mountaintop; she speaks from the middle of the storm, the pit of shame, the ache of betrayal. And yet, every chapter shows us what it means to rise with purpose, through scripture, surrender, and grace.

For women of faith seeking healing, or anyone rebuilding their identity from ashes, this memoir is more than emotional; it’s spiritual. It belongs on every list of empowering Christian books for women because it doesn’t just preach strength. It walks you through how to find it again when life knocks you flat.

Who Told You? offers Christian women spiritual books that actually speak their language: raw, real, and redemptive.

Amid the chaos and scars of Rox-Anne’s past came a love that didn’t rescue her; it stood beside her as she rescued herself. Ezekiel wasn’t just a romantic partner; he was a symbol of grace in human form, showing her that love isn’t supposed to hurt, manipulate, or destroy. It’s meant to rebuild.

In Who Told You? the story of Rox-Anne and Ezekiel isn’t painted in idealistic perfection. It’s raw, sacred, and refreshingly real. It gives readers a unique blend of emotional Christian romance and memoir healing stories that show how divine love can often come wrapped in human skin. Through Ezekiel’s unwavering support, we see what it means to be loved without condition and how that kind of love can restore what trauma tried to erase.

This isn’t a typical love story. It’s for readers who crave memoirs about overcoming abuse, trauma recovery, love stories, and books about finding love after pain. Rox-Anne doesn’t shy away from the tension; she shows how healing and partnership often walk hand in hand.

For those who believe in second chances, or need a reminder that faithful love still exists, Who Told You? delivers a chapter you’ll never forget.

There’s a moment in Who Told You? where Rox-Anne Maistry asks the question many are too afraid to voice: What if everything I believed about myself was a lie someone else planted? In this powerful stretch of her memoir, Rox-Anne begins to unravel years of falsehoods spoken over her identity, lies that told her she was unwanted, broken, or unworthy of love.

But healing didn’t come overnight. It came through confrontation, through surrender, and through choosing faith over fear. In the quiet moments of spiritual awakening, Rox-Anne began to rebuild the version of herself that God always intended. She shows us that healing from abandonment is not just about survival, but reclamation, of voice, of identity, of divine purpose.

This part of her story resonates deeply with anyone seeking emotional healing and spiritual growth. For women of faith, for survivors of childhood trauma, for those stuck in cycles of rejection, this is where the chains start to break.

Faith-based memoirs rarely feel this personal, this raw. Rox-Anne doesn’t preach; she reveals. And in doing so, she helps us all remember that our truest identity doesn’t come from people’s opinions, it comes from God’s unwavering truth.

There’s nothing easy about forgiveness, not when the wounds run deep, not when the people who hurt you never say sorry. But in Who Told You? Rox-Anne Maistry doesn’t wait for apologies to start her healing. She chooses forgiveness not as an obligation, but as a declaration of freedom.

This section of her memoir is both tender and unflinching. She walks us through moments where anger could have easily defined her, where bitterness could have become her identity. But instead, she chooses to release, not for the sake of others, but for herself, for her peace, for her future.

Through this release, we see a deeper kind of spiritual transformation. It’s a reminder that emotional resilience isn’t about having it all together; it’s about letting go of what no longer serves the woman you’re becoming. Rox-Anne models the sacred art of rising, not with revenge, but with grace.

This is what inspirational Christian memoirs are meant to do: not just move you, but challenge you to confront your own chains. Rox-Anne’s story doesn’t just teach forgiveness. It lives it.

If you’re searching for a book that speaks directly to the broken pieces of your story, Who Told You? is waiting. This is more than just a memoir; it’s a testimony of survival, redemption, and reclaiming your worth through faith. Whether you’re navigating past wounds, questioning your identity, or seeking spiritual encouragement, Rox-Anne’s journey offers a light in the darkness.
