I AM NOT A PAWN: A Memoir of Survival, Healing, and Becoming
by Tilley Tate
What if the people meant to protect you used you instead? What if survival wasn't where your story ended-but where it truly began?
In I AM NOT A PAWN, Tilley Tate shares a raw, powerful journey through abandonment, emotional manipulation, and generational trauma-and the relentless fight to reclaim her voice. Raised in a world where appearances mattered more than truth and love came with strings attached, Tate offers a gripping, hopeful memoir for anyone who has ever felt unwanted, unseen, or underestimated.
With fierce honesty and compassion, she speaks to the child still living inside so many of us-the one who was overlooked, silenced, or used as leverage. Through heartbreak, resilience, and the slow, sacred work of healing, I AM NOT A PAWN proves that survival is not the end of the story-it's the foundation for something beautiful.
This is a memoir for survivors. For cycle-breakers. For every young adult and child still searching for proof that healing is possible, and that their story matters.
