“For years, silence kept my pain buried. But when I was able to read my truth, right there in the pages, I was able to take the first step toward my healing.” I.A.
“As someone who spends my days helping people get unstuck, I was floored. You’ve translated what most of us tiptoe around into language that feels both clinical and deeply human. This is real healing — not theory.” L.H.
“This book doesn’t pat you on the back — it smacks you (lovingly) across the face with truth. It’s the book I didn’t know I needed until I read it. Every page is a call-out and a comeback.” Mary
“When I read the chapter about myself, I cried and cried. They weren’t sad tears; it was healing to see myself on the other side.” J.C.
“You wrote what I’ve prayed for words to express — that shame doesn’t die in silence; it dissolves in light. This book felt like both a confession and a resurrection.” Sammy
“I didn’t expect to underline half the book. I didn’t expect to cry. And I sure as hell didn’t expect to feel lighter afterward. I’m buying copies for my sister and cousin — this needs to be shared.” E.J.
“I love that you did the real research. You didn’t just theorize about shame — you investigated it, as a researcher does, and then put it in words for us. Data with soul. We need more of this.” Nancy
“I laughed, I cringed, I texted my tribe. You somehow made shame… entertaining? I loved it.” Diana
“We need to talk about this book — like, in a living room, with snacks and tissues. I’m starting a book club just so I can watch people’s faces when they get to Mark’s story.” Jill
“This isn’t a pretty book — it’s an honest one. I’ve lived this silence. Seeing it written down made me feel seen for the first time in years. Brutal and beautiful.” Lacy
