She’s No Longer Silent is being released into the world this Fall and is filled with powerful and empowering real-life vignettes told by women who are no longer staying silent about traumatic events in their lives. Golden Brick Road Publishing House brings women (from all over the world) together in She’s No Longer Silent and allows them to reclaim their truth and speak out against painful things that have happened in their lives that had forced them into silence. These women get real, raw, and emotional as they bravely tell their story in hopes of inspiring someone else to no longer be silent in their own life. Exploring topics such as domestic abuse, mental illness, sexual assault, and many other traumatic events, She’s No Longer Silent creates a safe space for women to speak up about things that were meant to keep them down while also uplifting others to do the same.
She’s No Longer Silent is broken down into three different sections which house stories with similar themes but each story is incredibly unique to each author. The women who have co-authored this book are all absolutely inspiring and remind the reader that while we all go through hardships in our lives there can be light at the end of the tunnel and that it is important that we speak up for our truths as it is the only way that we can truly set ourselves free from the burdens of our past.
The reader needs to be in the right mindset to read these powerful stories as the topics are heavy and can be triggering to those who have experienced similar events and circumstances.
While we all go through different experiences and traumas in our lives, the authors in She’s No Longer Silent suggest that in the end we want to silence our trauma instead of letting our trauma silence us. Sometimes, we need to take adversity head-on and speak up for ourselves.
