About me – Sue Maud
My name is Sue Maud and I have resided in Denmark since 1989.
I’ve always loved to help people and that is why my dream from when I was very young was to work for the United Nations—in any developing country, in projects that help communities. My dream never came to fruition but I never gave up on my dream. Through my years in employment I’ve always had jobs that had to do with helping people.
That being said, I now feel a lot closer to realizing my dream with an Authentic Stories project I’m currently putting together.
I’ve practically thrown myself into this project with so much passion, and judging from the initial response from people who’ve watched my video clips and given positive feedback, is a clear indication of how my content has the potential to stimulate conversation and reflection on our lives, whilst instilling hope and courage to overcome adversity.
“But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices, God is well pleased”
– Hebrews 13:16
Why Authentic Stories?
“When we share our stories, we are reminded of the humanity in each other. When we take the time to understand each others stories, we become more forgiving, more empathetic and more inclusive”. – Michelle Obama

Book Description
How does it feel to enter an entirely new city with tons of hopes at your back? What does it take to go against the odds and win against the best? How does a human complete the meaning of their life?
Never Give Up sheds light on the story of an amazingly talented girl, Anna, who is ready to mount the highs of the Earth. Her numb leg, frequent failures, or poor background doesn’t stop her from fighting against the whole world on her own.
With the turn of events, Anna lands in an unfavorable situation in California- nothing in her pockets and no shelter to live in. Anna is done and ready to give up, but Gwen enters her life as a bright torch.
However, Gwen’s arrival doesn’t mean the end of problems; instead, it is just the beginning. With the turn of events, the duo found themselves competing against each other in an international competition. Naturally, their amazing friendship for each other has increased during all this time, but you can’t have two winners.
Life takes Anna from the villages of Chali to the modernistic city of New York and back to Chali as an established designer that is ready to change the world. But, it isn’t going to be easy. The Jagirdar is a living danger, but Anna’s confidence is unshaken. Will Anna be able to succeed in her aim? Or Will she have to commit to the inhumane practices of the tyrannical head?
Never give up is a story about motivation, courage, and determination; it teaches its readers about the importance of not giving up; Anna’s story highlights how commitment to a goal and the power to fight against your limitations can help anyone break their mental bounds and shine like the brightest star.
