Breaking Bad meets Taken in this a searingly honest and unforgettable memoir that challenges readers to rethink everything they know about survival, resilience, and finding their voice.At twenty-one, Brenda Coffee surrendered herself to her marriage and became a woman who would do almost anything her charismatic and powerful older husband, Philip Ray, wanted. Regardless of whether it was dangerous, adventurous, sexual, or illegal, she wanted to be the one woman he couldnt live without.Brenda and Philips life together was a fairy tale until it wasnt. Until Philip, the founder of two high-profile, groundbreaking public companies, began making real cocaine in their basement and became addicted. Until the Big Six tobacco companies threatened their lives for creating the first smokeless cigarette-Brenda coined the terms vape and vaping-and brutal Guatemalan military commandos forced her into the jungle at gunpoint.A suspenseful, fast-paced memoir that reads like a thriller, Maya Blue will strike a chord with those whove lost their voice or had trouble finding their power. It will resonate with those who live with an addict or have grieved the loss of a spouse. But above all, it is an inspiring reminder that as long as you never surrender your voice and always keep your wits about you, you can survive almost anything.
