The book that exposes it all.

An Embarrassment of Pandas is a gripping, emotionally raw memoir about a woman’s fight after unimaginable betrayal. When Mae’s husband was ultimately convicted of multiple crimes, she was thrust into a years-long battle for safety, truth and justice. What followed was not only a legal war, but a relentless struggle against a family determined to rewrite a reality and silence her. Through courtroom chaos, institutional failures, and ongoing manipulation, Mae fought to protect her children and reclaim her voice.
