About the Book
A memoir of silence, survival, and breaking the cycle.
-
She inherited the silence. She refused to pass it down.
A Different Inheritance: A Memoir of Silence, Survival, and Breaking the Cycle is Sallie De Silva’s deeply human account of childhood trauma, survival, motherhood, and the night everything broke open—and of what it took to stop the cycle and choose truth, healing, and hope.
Honest and hard-won, it is a story for anyone who has carried what was never theirs to carry and dared to put it down.
