Shattering Silence: A Story of Survival, Justice, and the Power of Telling the Truth (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781958472439)

At seven years old, little Darlene lived a seemingly charmed life-the youngest of five in an upper-middle-class Midwestern family. But that illusion shattered when her two oldest brothers began assaulting her, binding her to silence with threats, fear, and shame.

But, as Darlene would discover, secrets eventually leak out. Faced with a lawsuit filed by one of her brothers, Darlene was forced to choose-stay silent or tell the truth.

Shattering Silence is the powerful story of a child who protected her family at great personal cost-and the woman who reclaimed her voice to stand for truth and justice. It is a testament to human resilience and the courage it takes to speak when everything is on the line.
