MAEVE RISING, Memoir of Former Goldman Sachs Spokesperson Wins Memoir Category While THESE BROKEN ROADS Receives Honorable Mention
(Grass Valley, CA) – Sibylline Press is thrilled to announce that two of its upcoming titles have received recognition from the New York Book Festival. MAEVE RISING: Coming Out Trans in Corporate America by Maeve DuVally has won the memoir category. THESE BROKEN ROADS: Scammed and Vindicated: One Woman’s Story by Donna Marie Hayes has received Honorable Mention in the same category.
In MAEVE RISING, Maeve DuVally recounts her sadistic pathologist father’s behavior during her childhood, her own alcoholism, failed marriages, and eventual triumph into sobriety. It was in that sobriety that she finally met her true self: Maeve. As a public face of the company, she knew she couldn’t transition quietly. Initially she keeps her identity a secret with wardrobe changes in the lobby bathroom after work. When she finally declares herself, Goldman Sachs—to her surprise—embraces her. A New York Times story leads Maeve into her new life as a role model for other transgender people and gives her a purpose that had been lacking her entire life.
MAEVE RISING releases August 29, 2023, from Sibylline Press.
In THESE BROKEN ROADS, Donna Marie Hayes details her childhood in Jamaica, immigration to the U.S., survival of domestic abuse, and triumph over a scam artist she met on a dating app who fleeced her of six figures. She then rose once more to find her power, making the scame and her choice of such a man the last run along the broken roads of her past.
THESE BROKEN ROADS releases October 3, 2023, from Sibylline Press.
