A Story That Rose, Resonated, and Redefined Courage | Rox-Anne Maistry Wins Best Biography Book of 2025

Some stories don’t just get written. They rise. They resonate. And they redefine what courage looks like in real life. Today, we stand in celebration of a moment earned through honesty, resilience, and a voice powerful enough to move thousands.

Rox-Anne Maistry’s memoir, Who Told You?, has officially been awarded Best Biography Book of 2025 at the prestigious From the Mind to Page Writers Awards. This is not just a win for a book; it is a recognition of a journey that dared to speak truth where silence once lived.

This achievement arrives after her remarkable milestone earlier this year, where Rox-Anne was honored with five award nominations, including Inspirational Book, Christian Author Book, Book Cover, and Layout & Formatting. Each nomination reflected a layer of her creativity. This win crowns them all.

This recognition represents far more than a literary milestone. Awards of this caliber are not given lightly. They honor stories that carry depth, clarity, and lasting impact. Who Told You? stood out because it did not rely on spectacle or exaggeration. It rose through truth told with courage and restraint, offering readers a story that speaks directly to identity, faith, and the internal battles many endure in silence.

At its heart, Who Told You? is not simply a memoir. It is a deeply reflective exploration of the voices that shape us, the doubts that limit us, and the beliefs that quietly dictate our sense of worth. Rox-Anne confronts the question so many carry without ever asking aloud: Who told you that you were not enough? Through lived experience and spiritual honesty, she dismantles the narratives that once confined her and invites readers to examine their own.

What makes this achievement especially powerful is the way Rox-Anne’s message continues to connect across borders. Rooted in lived experience and spiritual truth, Who Told You? resonates with readers who have wrestled with doubt, questioned their purpose, or carried silent burdens for years. The book’s impact extends beyond South Africa, reaching a global audience seeking stories that heal without pretending pain never existed.

Readers have connected with the memoir because it does not offer easy answers or performative faith. Instead, it creates space for reflection, healing, and recognition. Rox-Anne writes with sincerity, allowing vulnerability to become a bridge rather than a weakness. Her story reassures readers that faith can coexist with questions, and that strength often begins with truthfully acknowledging where we have been wounded.

Who Told You? rose because it held truth. It resonated because it held humanity. It won because it carried power. This award affirms that stories centered on faith, identity, and resilience continue to matter deeply in today’s literary landscape. In a time where noise often overshadows meaning, Rox-Anne’s voice emerged with clarity and purpose.

This achievement also reinforces the importance of representation in publishing. When diverse voices are amplified, readers everywhere gain access to perspectives that challenge, inspire, and expand understanding.
