Born from a Prayer, Raised by a Fire
A Memoir by MerriamAfter three sons and nearly seven silent years, a daughter was finally born not by chance, but by mannat, a whispered prayer wrapped in hope. But life didn't hand her peace.
This is the raw, unfiltered journey of a girl born into a home that looked whole from the outside, but was cracking from within. A father who returned only to bring chaos. A mother who sold her gold to save a son. Brothers pulled away one by one to bad company, to addiction, to escape.
And in the middle of it all, a little girl who didn't understand the noise, but felt every bit of the silence.
From childhood confusion to teenage scars, quiet strength of finding her own path in her twenties this memoir is not about blame. It's about becoming.
Through family fights, mental health battles, lonely meals, voice rises from the fire that raised her.
For every girl who was told to stay quiet. For every daughter born from love, but raised in survival
this is your story too.
