Dolores: My Journey Home, Part One

Finding Myself Beyond the ACE Family

By: Catherine Paiz, Riley J. Ford

Narrated by: Catherine Paiz

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.

Inspiring, vulnerable, enlightening!

This book is incredible. I’ve been an Ace Family fan, a CATHERINE fan for about a decade. I always felt connected to her and felt her light through the screen. I’ve always been drawn to her as I know millions of others have as well… Being given the opportunity to hear this story straight from her mouth made me feel like I was living her life in all of its stages, all of the highs and lows. I remember being there and watching all of their videos throughout the years right as they were released and uploaded. This book connects all the dots and comes full circle. It took me on a trip in a time machine. It made me feel so many emotions. I laughed, I cried and everything in between. I’m truly inspired and enlightened. I can’t wait to see what she does next.
