Suffering In Silence

Suffering in Silence is a compelling story of one courageous woman's journey of overcoming trauma, personal loss, and 13 years of domestic violence.

When Andrea Maynard-Brade is forced to leave her family home having discovered she was pregnant in her teens, she is cast into a world of motherhood, domesticity and a marriage riddled with inequality, deceit, and abuse.

This mesmerising tale of family dynamics played out in tension-filled environments demonstrates how one night can easily change the course of a life planned in the daydreams and vivid imaginations of a young child. Enduring further heartache and loss, Andrea faces the terrible consequences of being trapped in an ongoing generational cycle of abuse and violence, historically inflicted upon some of the women in her family. Will Andrea finally be able to find her voice and put an end to her suffering or will she continue to live a life of fearful submission and trauma?

Suffering in Silence is a story of hope, inner healing, re-discovery, re-empowerment, and a testimony of what the human spirit can endure and overcome. This journey of self-discovery, although painful, is inspirational and empowering, emphasising the importance of embracing our physical, emotional, financial, spiritual, and mental wellbeing, our self-worth, and the life we truly deserve.
