Entrepreneur and multiple business owner Julia McCoy brings multiple genres together in her electrifying, non-fiction true story, Woman Rising: A True Story, guaranteed to have you turning each page.
Growing up under a narcissistic cult leader, Woman Rising: A True Story tells the unbelievable true story of one woman’s ability to defy the odds and rise up despite a terrible upbringing, build a business empire, and find her complete life path—through recovery and healing, to personal and professional success as a woman CEO. Woman Rising: A True Story is a memoir that goes above and beyond a story of childhood trauma.
“…with vivid imagery and eloquent language, Julia immerses the reader in her story of a difficult childhood while also providing guideposts for self-discovery along the way. This is a brave and important work.” - Anna LeBaron, author, The Polygamist’s Daughter
Follow the author, Julia McCoy, on an incredible journey from birth to present-day at the age of twenty-nine.
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 author and entrepreneur Julia McCoy’s debut narrative nonfiction memoir.
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. His beliefs, rooted in radical Calvinist Christianity and Puritanical Fundamentalism, taught the total submission of wives, corporal punishment (beating with rods) of children, and other forms of familial abuse hidden from the world behind closed doors.
Julia's childhood tragedy, pain, and terror is painted in vivid, real scenes as she 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.
Note: Some parts of Woman Rising: A True Story, especially Julia’s childhood in a cult told in truth and transparency, are dark and disturbing (be warned). This is also Julia's story. It's not that of her siblings, her family members, or others in her childhood. Those are their stories to tell. Julia tells her story, and sticks to the timeline of her life.
