Description
From the outside, Sayeh Rivazfar’s childhood looked ordinary enough. Shared birthday cakes. Apartment complexes filled with children playing under the Florida sun. Sisters whispering secrets after the lights went out.
But behind closed doors lived instability, fear, emotional manipulation, violence, and the quiet survival instincts children develop long before they understand why they need them.
Then, at eight years old, Sayeh’s life changed forever. A violent crime shattered her family, stole her younger sister, Sara, and left Sayeh to navigate a lifetime shaped by grief, trauma, and unanswered questions.
In this deeply personal memoir, Sayeh recounts growing up in a fractured home shaped by poverty, abuse, addiction, and loss, while exploring the unbreakable bond she shared with her sister and the resilience that carried her forward. Told with emotional honesty and vivid reflection, this is a story about learning to survive without losing your humanity.
More than a memoir about trauma, From Survival to Service is about endurance, identity, and the strength it takes to reclaim your voice after years of silence.
For readers drawn to stories of resilience, healing, and survival, this memoir is a haunting yet hopeful reminder that even in the darkest places, something inside us can still endure.
