Description

She had the perfect life. Until she chose a braver one.

Catherine Paiz grew up far from the spotlight, in the vibrant multicultural city of Montreal, Canada, where her dreams began. When her path led her to Los Angeles, she built a life that seemed like a fairy tale: love, children, and a pioneering YouTube career that influenced millions. As part of The ACE Family, she became a familiar face around the globe. But behind the scenes, Catherine was carrying heartbreak, facing betrayal, navigating intense public scrutiny, and slowly losing herself.

When everything she built began to unravel, she set out on the most important journey of all—alchemizing her pain into strength, transforming her life, and finding her way back to the woman she was always destined to be. This is the true story of a life that looked perfect, and the brave heart who stepped beyond the picture to find something real.

    I started reading Catherine‘s book because I’ve watched the ace family since they started many years ago. At first, I had judged both Austin and Catherine, but after reading Catherine‘s book many times it has brought me to tears knowing all she has went through. I’m so happy she has found herself and is at her highest vibration. Can’t wait to read part two.
  • Was a good read. Beautiful story

    There is so much I would want to say, but I will have to cut it down. This book was an eye-opener into their relationship. I understand why they had a divorce , a lot has happened and burden them so much that it felt like there was no way out. The fact that they did not speak about these problems publicly while they were being humiliated publicly speaks a lot about them. So they held that burden with them, and it helped to shut them down between each other and in between them and their fans, . She mentioned that she wasn't very communicative in their relationship, etc, but if they even acknowledged what was really happening instead of protecting, who was kicking them down over and over , instead, they should've spoke up about it, they held onto it and dealt with it by suffering in silence. I believe they should've acknowledged it to their fans, let them know who these people are and to be aware of them .. in a sense of putting people on their guard . I loved the ACE Family. And I respect Catherine for speaking her truth. She did not bash or speak bad of her ex-husband, and that itself, speaks highly of who she is. She spoke truth and her feelings, emotion, her struggle, and her moments of awareness. I don't know if I even believe in these spiritual awakenings and medicinal practices that she spoke about, but if that is what she likes, I love that for her. To each their own. I believe in God, and I believe believe in God, speaking to me, but when it comes to me having to drink a special tea to be aware, that is where I would draw the line for me... I prefer to pray to God and ask him to show me the way instead Otherwise, this book is a good read. Excited to read part 2. When is the release date?

    This is the first book ive sat down and read since high school. You feel so many emotions from this book, good and bad. Catherine has taught me a lot through her book. Im grateful i get to have a peek into what shaped her as a being. I love this book. I have so many lines saved to read back on when i need to understand them most. Both Riley and Catherine did an amazing job on this book. I will DEFINITELY be ordering her second book.!!!!

    Beautiful story. Beautifully written. Beautifully told. I have followed you for years on YouTube and it’s refreshing to hear the truth behind the scenes. Catherine, you are an inspiration to girls and women. Thank you for the reminder that nothing on the outside can fully fulfill us in the ways we need. We must look inward. May God continue to bless you on your beautiful journey.

    I’ve watched the ACE Family before they hit 1 million subscribers and always wondered about Catherine’s side of the story. I had a feeling she never was being honest in how much she was dealing with and now I finally got to see that side, the truth. I’m so proud of her and this book that she poured herself into. I’ve always rooted for you Catherine, keep shining your light.
