Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview: #1 As a child, I was often quiet. I did not speak much, and I remember feeling shame and fear when my parents would ask me to do something. I would wait for moments to pass, for the confusion to subside, for the adults around me to say, Everything is okay.

#2 The word whore is a slur against women, and I learned about it as a child growing up in a home with few attempts to censor the vulgarities of the world. I was afraid to call my grandmother such an ugly name.

#3 I learned that if I felt pretty or stylish, something was wrong. If I wanted to look cute, like everyone else always seemed to look with their nice clothes and nice hair and nice smiles, shame would follow.

#4 I was a child who did not speak up, and as an adult, I did not. I had to watch my friends become my ex-husband’s friends and feel their affection for me diminish. I had to learn the most important lesson I had learned as a child: to be quiet.
