Charleston, SC, Sept. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Journey from darkness to hope and light in a powerful new memoir on a life lived across cultures, nations, and incredible trials overcome. When Maxine growing up in Guyana, South America, she dreamed of an adult life that mirrored the joy of her childhood.
