This Book is About You (And All the Things I Never Said) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798349402845)

How many women doubt themselves before they recognize the truth?

It began like so many love stories: at seventeen, Nikki Merriman believed she was falling in love. She had no idea she was stepping into a carefully constructed nightmare. What followed was years of quiet damage and control. All in the name of protecting someone who was manipulating her.

As Nikki begins to uncover the truth, she discovers her experience is not isolated. One by one, women come forward, their stories intersecting in ways none of them expected. Patterns emerge, and together, they discover what was never accidental.

This memoir is not about a single failed relationship, but rather an empowering message of survival. It is a documented unraveling of how manipulation operates, how control is enforced, and how young women are trained to internalize blame rather than question power. When the silence breaks, one voice becomes many, and denial no longer has anywhere to hide.

Their silence did not protect them.

But now, the truth will.
