Raising a Boaz
She set out to raise a godly man. God used the journey to heal a broken woman.
In Raising a Boaz, debut author Jen Sanada shares the redemptive story of Maya, a single mother determined to raise her son with strength, faith and purpose—even while struggling to reclaim those very things herself.
Told in vivid third-person narrative—this memoir follows their journey through trauma, spiritual wrestling, and the quiet work of rebuilding. As Mateo grows, so does Maya—into a woman learning that healing often comes in the smallest, holiest steps.
Honest, gritty, and infused with faith, Raising a Boaz is for anyone who’s ever questioned their worth, wrestled with God, or longed to believe that restoration is still possible.
