Publisher's Synopsis
From Basement to Billionaire: The Maddy Manifesto is not your typical rags-to-riches tale. It's the fiercely heartwarming and unflinchingly real journey of Maddy-an immigrant mother who arrives in Canada with two kids, two coats, and a suitcase full of uncertainty. She doesn't know real estate. She barely knows how to navigate the subway. But what she does know is that she's done playing small.
Told with wit, grit, and an honesty that stings and soothes in equal measure, this novel follows Maddy as she reinvents herself from a tired homemaker in a cousin's basement to a force in socially conscious real estate. Through heartbreaking failures, unexpected allies, toxic office politics, and quietly defiant victories, Maddy builds a life-and legacy-on her own terms.
This is not a how-to guide on building wealth. It's a manifesto for those who've ever questioned their worth, waited too long for permission, or forgotten how to dream. With themes of motherhood, immigration, identity, ambition, and resilience, From Basement to Billionaire is a love letter to every underdog daring to rise.
By the end, Maddy doesn't just chase success. She redefines it-building a real estate trust worth a billion dollars to serve the public good. Not for power. But for purpose.
Perfect for readers who love:
✔️ Immigrant success stories
✔️ Strong female leads
✔️ Inspirational fiction grounded in real emotion
✔️ Laugh-out-loud moments and gut-punch truths
✔️ A heroine you'll root for long after the last page
