What happens when the person who was supposed to be your first safe place becomes your first heartbreak?
Breaking the Silence is Joshanna Evans' deeply personal story of childhood trauma, complicated motherhood, survival, and the long road toward healing.
From Guyana to St. Maarten, Joshanna takes readers through the experiences that shaped her, from moments of love and family to painful violations, rejection, instability, and wounds she carried quietly for years.
But this is not a book about remaining inside the pain.
It is about what happened when she finally began looking at her life differently.
Through motherhood, entrepreneurship, spirituality, shadow work, forgiveness, and the difficult work of healing her inner child, Joshanna began learning that while she could not change what happened to her, she could decide what those experiences would become.
Breaking the Silence explores the complicated truth that sometimes the people we love can also be the people who hurt us most,and that healing does not always require pretending the hurt never happened.
For every woman who has questioned her worth because of what she survived, struggled to forgive, carried childhood wounds into adulthood, or wondered whether she could become something more than what happened to her, these pages offer one message:
Your story may explain you, but it does not have to define you.
This is a story of trauma.
A story of resilience.
A story of breaking cycles.
And ultimately, a story of choosing to turn pain into purpose.
