Maryam Ruquia is a writer, entrepreneur, marketing professional, and single mother who has turned pain into power. She has walked through loss, heartbreak, and transformation—learning that healing isn’t about erasing pain, but about embracing it and letting it shape something greater.
The inspiration for "Picking Up the Pieces" came from her own journey of rebuilding after a life-altering change. In the moments when everything felt shattered, she realized that true strength isn’t about "moving on"—it’s about learning to live with the pain, understanding it, and using it to become someone even stronger. This book is her way of offering that perspective to others who feel lost, reminding them that pain is not the end of the story—it’s the beginning of something new.
Her journey is deeply personal, yet universally relatable. Through "Picking Up the Pieces," she shares the raw, unfiltered reality of rebuilding yourself from the ground up, proving that even in life’s darkest moments, there is a path forward—not just to survive, but to thrive.
