“Hit Me With Your Best Shot” is a raw, unflinching memoir of one woman’s fight through a life marked by trauma—and her journey into triumph. Abused as a child, rejected at birth, and silenced for years, Neena Perez opens the door to her past with bold vulnerability, revealing the heartache, horror, and hope that shaped her into the warrior she is today.
With striking honesty and grit, Neena recounts:
- Surviving sexual abuse, domestic violence, and abandonment
- The inner battles with shame, identity, and self-worth
- How faith, resilience, and forgiveness became her path to healing
This isn’t just a book—it’s a breakthrough.
It’s for every woman who’s ever questioned her worth, every soul who’s suffered in silence, and every fighter who’s still standing.
Let Neena’s story remind you:
You may be bent, but you are not broken.
You are not what happened to you—you are what you overcome.
And no hit is stronger than the God who fights for you.
