Tina Montoya’s life has been anything but ordinary—and now, she’s sharing her inspiring story of faith, resilience, and perseverance with the world in her new memoir, Great Things: One Girl’s Path to Freedom.
The book, which officially launches May 5, 2025, offers an unflinching yet hopeful look at Tina’s journey from childhood trauma to professional triumph. As a survivor of family violence, poverty, and personal tragedy, Montoya defied the odds to become a successful Texas attorney—fulfilling the promise her mother once whispered to her: “You’re going to do great things someday.”

About the Book
Montoya’s memoir begins with a traumatic childhood, including the loss of her mother to gun violence and a life shaped by uncertainty. Yet through each hardship, she clung to her mother’s words and eventually became the woman her mother dreamed she would be—strong, educated, and free. Told with honesty, grace, and a touch of humor, Great Things reminds readers that even in our darkest chapters, hope can still be written into the story.
