About
Summary
The Weight of Silence is a memoir of depression told through the lives of a teenager, his sister Anna, his friend Kevin, and others who become part of his healing. Set in Cincinnati, it traces therapy sessions with Dr. Harris, late-night talks with Kevin in the library, and Anna’s childlike notes that became lifelines. A support group in a church basement, where Marcus and Linda shared their truths, showed him resilience was not isolation but connection. Speaking at a school assembly gave his silence a voice, transforming stigma into solidarity. Setbacks returned, but with family slowly learning, community support, and the courage to speak, the narrator found that healing is not the absence of pain, but the choice to keep rising.Book information
