Not Just Surviving — Becoming the Storm

There’s a moment in life, sometimes quiet, sometimes earth-shattering, when you decide that survival isn’t enough. That simply getting through it, carrying pain in silence, and keeping your head down no longer serves you.

That’s the moment this book was born from.

The Lies We Whisper isn’t just a story about trauma, obsession, and psychological unraveling. It’s a story for those who have been told they were too much, or never enough. For the ones who kept moving forward despite the weight of silence. Who carried grief like a second skin. Who stood up even when no one was watching or applauding.

I wrote this book for you.

You, who never got the apology.
You, who survived what others couldn’t imagine.
You, who finally said, enough, not in anger, but in quiet defiance.

You didn’t just survive. You became the storm.

Thank you for letting Hanna’s story into your hands. I hope, in some way, it echoes something inside you. And I hope you know: your scars do not diminish you. They shape the fire you carry. They become your armor. Your strength.

With gratitude,

Sophia
