Shhh… Don’t Say It: A Memoir in Fragments on Trauma, Abuse, CPTSD, and Healing
Not a tidy, poetic documentary memoir.
This isn’t even one genre.
It is a lyric record of what happens when memory fractures but refuses to stay silent.
Rita Kay traces her survival through incest, abuse, betrayal, and complex PTSD. In this memoir told through trauma-informed poems, unsent letters, therapy insights, creative rebellion, dialogues, and searing fragments, she brings the unspeakable into the open.
What unfolds is both devastating and strangely tender. The result is a wildly original body of work, part elegy, part resistance, part auto-sarcastic trauma humor, motherhood, therapy, EMDR sessions, friendship, dissociation, coffee, tears, and grace. Each page carries the pulse of a body remembering, and the determination of a woman writing herself back into wholeness.
The curtains are coming down.
And the truth deserves its spotlight.
