Breaking the Silence: From Shattered to Whole-A Story in Verse

By Angela Mae Rivard

In Breaking the Silence, Angela Mae Rivard opens the door to her most vulnerable truths, offering a brave and honest collection of poetry rooted in lived experience. Through raw reflections on bullying, depression, anxiety, and the quiet ache of unspoken grief, Angela charts a journey from isolation to empowerment.

Each poem is a step toward healing-a reclaiming of voice, identity, and self-worth. With verses that illuminate the invisible wounds many carry, this collection becomes a lifeline for anyone who has ever felt unseen or unheard.

From the shadows of trauma to the embers of sorrow and the light of renewal, Breaking the Silence is not just a book of poems-it's a testament to survival, and a celebration of the strength it takes to speak up, stand tall, and start again.

For those seeking understanding, comfort, or courage, this book will remind you: you are not alone, and your voice matters.
