Silent Fright: A Memoir

by Christie Powers

Overview

A true story of quiet courage, fear, shame, and ultimate hope.

Christie was a shy, vibrant, happy young girl when she met Chad. He was handsome, popular, and athletic, but her childhood sweetheart turned out to be a monster behind closed doors once they married. She told no one of her circumstances and suffered silently for ten toxic years.

Christie's husband worked tirelessly to dim her bright internal light, and the daily assaults on her self-esteem ultimately led to a revengeful affair. His horrible temper and vicious words hurt even more than being pushed down the stairs or having the air choked out of her. The blistering shame she felt kept her off balance, unable to trust anyone, and altered her life's path forever.

Silent Fright is a story of abuse, and also a story of leaving, and finding the strength to carry on. No longer ashamed or frightened by what she went through, Christie reveals in this memoir her most secret and buried memories in hopes that she might help others who are suffering abuse and needing hope in their lives. We are all perfect in our imperfections, and we all have a story that haunts us. Here's hers.

About the Author

Christie Powers isn't a famous author or a superstar. She's just a determined woman who’s lost her way in life many times and decided in May 2010 to listen to her heart and write about her most buried secrets. It's taken these next ten years to find the fresh courage required to share her story with you.

Personal Growth and developing the best version of herself is her number one goal. She's also been obsessed with self-help books since she was 24 when one such book, quite literally, saved her life.

A few years ago she made another conscious decision… to stop shrinking into places she'd outgrown. That cost her some friends, a cheating husband, and a few colleagues. But with her renewed sense of "self-worth" it seems she's come full circle and is now obsessed with her new mission:

To help guide You in your quest to truly loving yourself, forgiving yourself and to just...Be Your "Best" Self.
