Description

Starred Review from Foreword Reviews: "The book conveys emotions in a deep, visceral way... an outstanding memoir about the difficulties of overcoming abuse."

A breathtaking and gut-wrenchingly real graphic memoir of the struggles of an adolescent girl processing the trauma of childhood sexual assault.

An immigrant at the age of six, she arrived in a strange new world. Karina was labelled "different" immediately, and a desire to be invisible was born. The "different" label expanded to "weird" and "freak", terms that she fervently embraced. By taking society's critique, owning it, and taking pride in it, she gained power over it. In a life overshadowed by fear, Karina wanted control. If something was going to ruin her life it would be her and her alone.

Silence, Full Stop is a journey through the complexities of identity and the relentless pursuit of personal empowerment amidst the shadows of past trauma.
