Unspoken Words

About the Book

Trauma is something that many of us have experienced in one form or another. While some will cry out for help, many will try to suppress their suffering. It can be difficult to find words to identify your pain. When words are left unspoken, they can fester and slowly kill us inside! There is a way to overcome the effects of trauma by acknowledging and addressing your affliction. In Unspoken Words: An Open Diary, Fareeda A. Washington invites you on a cathartic journey of self-discovery, healing, and triumph. This memoir offers encouragement for those who have been challenged by hardships.
