Behind Closed Doors was born from a simple but difficult truth:
There are countless families living through abuse, manipulation, and fear. Most of it happens in silence.
I wrote this book because no one should feel alone in their trauma.
I wrote it because cycles only break when someone finally speaks.
And I wrote it because surviving abuse is not just a personal fight, it's a generational one.
This book is meant to:
give language to the experiences survivors struggle to explain
help families recognize the signs they’ve been conditioned to ignore
offer clarity to those navigating complex, confusing, and manipulative relationships
start conversations that protect the next generation
My hope is that readers walk away feeling seen, validated, and empowered to move forward. Whether that means setting boundaries, seeking help, or simply understanding that what happened to them wasn’t their fault.
I believe this book can serve as a powerful resource for:
high schools & college programs
counselors & social workers
youth organizations
women’s shelters
men’s mental health groups
nonprofits focused on abuse, family trauma, or prevention
churches & community programs
therapists, educators, and training facilitators
If your organization would like to:
distribute the book
use it as a teaching resource
offer it in your support programs
include it in a curriculum
host a reading, talk, or workshop
I am open and excited to collaborate.
