LIVING IN SILENCE

"It wasn’t your fault….” The words I longed to hear.

After living in silence for far too long, Cindy is breaking the silence with her survivor. Living in Silence is an honest and heartbreaking account as reveals the torment and abuse she battled in secret at the hands of one of her teachers.

Starting in middle school and spanning over her teen years and into young adulthood, the abuse Cindy survived and endured became a source of misery, shame, and guilt in her life. Even after tirelessly distancing herself from her abuser, she still can’t seem to find the freedom she longs for until the moment comes when she finds her voice and speaks her truth.

At that moment, she hears the words she needed most . . . "it wasn’t your fault." As Cindy begins to look beyond the haze of shame and distorted truths, she is able to see the unfiltered truth and something perhaps even more foreign, hope.

In Living in Silence, Cindy shares a story of resilience, courage in the face of evil, and strength where society sees weakness. This is a story many others have unfortunately known and lived before. In breaking the silence, she tells how she found her voice and claimed her freedom, inviting others to do the same and take back control of the life they thought they could never get back.
