This narrative true story of female leadership, post-trauma survival, and entrepreneurial success is told in two parts:

Woman Rising: A True Story is best-selling non-fiction author, entrepreneur, and content marketing expert Julia McCoy's debut narrative nonfiction memoir.

OVERVIEW
In Part 1, experience the painful, tragic story of Julia's upbringing, and how she was born into the house of a cult leader in Pennsylvania, who hid the truth of her daily environment completely from the public eye.

The tragedy, the pain, and the terror is painted in vivid, real scenes as Julia brings her story to life through the written word. Feel her passion and energy come alive as she pursues bold, money-making ideas at a young age, eventually building a brand while living in her father's house. Read about the night she escaped his house, in 2012 at twenty-one years old.

In Part 2, follow Julia on an unbelievable (true) journey of discovering normal life, finding faith and healing, getting married to the man of her dreams; becoming a parent, best-selling author, and the creator of no less than four successful brands in very competitive industries. Read about her trials, successes, and the reality of building businesses from scratch that last and stand the test of time. Julia's steps to business success are laid out in real, practical details, with every up and down.

The lessons from Julia's entrepreneurial journey, told throughout the book with moments of self-reflection, form a real-life entrepreneurial manual for others wanting to create businesses from scratch that last.

Julia's nonfiction memoir is one you will not forget. Her story marries these categories: female leadership books, entrepreneurial advice, and true stories of survival.
