Summary

Tammy will not be silent anymore....

Tammy stayed silent on the fights, the bruises, and the tears she cried behind the couch, hiding from her mother. She stayed silent about what happened between her father and her when no one was looking for eight terrifying years. Even after finding the courage to protect a friend and tell their small town sheriff, she stayed silent, refusing to explain the sordid details of what a father should never do to his daughter to strangers who were trying to help her

Now, after 32 years…the first manuscript being taken from her by the group home she was sent to live in…another manuscript being burned by a drunk, raging boyfriend…scraps of it being pieced together and hidden in the bottom of dressers, written in the early morning hours after her children have gone to bed…and the understanding support of a professor after going back to college at the age of 38, Tammy has decided it is time to break her silence, because by breaking the silence she is saying that “it is not her shame to bear!”
