Ohio Author Nakkya Bouie Releases Memoir ‘Survival,’ Drawing on Homelessness and Family Betrayal

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Nakkya Bouie, a single mother of two living in Ohio, has published a memoir titled "Survival," tracing her path through homelessness, an abusive marriage, failed relationships, and what the announcement describes as a devastating betrayal by a family member. The book is out now through Christian Faith Publishing.

According to the announcement, Bouie began writing at thirteen but didn’t complete a book until now. "Survival" moves chronologically from her earliest years to the present, built around what the publisher describes as the turning points that shaped her resilience.

"I wrote this book to show others that no matter what you face in life, you have the ability to survive and eventually thrive," Bouie said in the announcement.

The publisher presents the memoir not merely as a catalog of hardship, but as a testament to how vulnerability and determination can coexist, aimed at readers facing their own difficult circumstances. It’s a theme that runs through a wider wave of self-published survival memoirs in recent years, where authors turn personal crisis into testimony for readers navigating similar ground.

"Survival" is available at bookstores and through major online retailers, including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.

Studio CarryOnHarry sees these first-person survival accounts as a steady, if under-covered, corner of the book world — stories that don’t chase bestseller lists but clearly find their readers.
