Quiet your mind, and the silence will help you hear your inner
voice--the one that says, "Stay strong enough to forgive, to heal, and
to have hope."
In her stirring, vulnerable new memoir, Karena Dawn reveals what it
was like to grow up with a mother suffering from severe mental health
issues, and how, during her teenage years, she desperately tried to
escape her own inner demons. Addicted to pain-numbing drugs and crippled
by severe depression, Karena learned how to use grief as a teacher,
releasing herself from guilt and shame and finding the inner strength to
go from abandonment to forgiveness, from hopelessness to healing.
Karena's bold and brave memoir shows us how staying silent about mental
illness only reinforces the stigma. At the heart of her story is the
eternal struggle we all share--how to move past the pain and suffering
of our personal battles to experience life's joys. Through the healing
power of nature, meditation, and fitness, Karena was able to forge a
path to self-discovery and find peace.
Ultimately, The Big Silence reveals how a journey of self-love can
lead to a renewed sense of identity and a life filled with hope and
optimism.
