Raised by the Fire

Raised by the Fire: A Story of Survival, Strength, and the Spirit of a Child

By Mariah Eve & Denisha Michelle

From the ashes of trauma rises a voice that refuses to be silenced.

In Raised by the Fire, Mariah Eve courageously lays bare the harrowing journey of a child born into chaos, shaped by pain, and strengthened by resilience. With unflinching honesty, she tells the story of surviving sexual abuse, betrayal, homelessness, and loss—and finding healing in places few would expect.

Guided by the love of her Granny, Papa, and Uncle Johnny, Mariah's life unfolds in a series of battles both internal and external: against those who harmed her, the family that failed to protect her, and the haunting weight of her past. Yet within the wreckage, she discovers her voice, her worth, and the fierce love of a parent determined to break generational curses.

This memoir is not just a testimony—it's a torch for others walking through darkness. A story of forgiveness, reclamation, and the quiet strength it takes to face your demons and still choose life.

For the child who thought they'd never make it. This is for you.
