Customer Reviews

Deeply impressive

Christa Jan Ryan's book cuts right to the heart of abuse. A perceptive and heart-wrenching story that could shed a light on the sources of our own abuse and how to work through it. I know it did for me. Profoundly moving and an amazingly quick read, this book is a life-changing work in more ways than one and can provide hope and guidance to those who are lost. This is a story that needs to be told.

Is she amazing or what?

Christa Jan Ryan is a woman who has picked herself up and prevailed forward in the most positive way. I absolutely could not stop reading this book. I had to know if she was able to fight her demons and win the battle. This book will give readers inspiration, hope and a drive to succeed. As I read how she turned soil in her hands and created the most beautiful art work for the rich and famous, I thought about her being a work horse and not shying away from labor. It became a labor of love for her even though her personal life was in total chaos. Christa never gave up and needed to prosper not only in money but in life. She turned her life around and is living a healthy life now. She is giving back and on the road teaching women how to take adversity and become independent and happy.

SELF LOVE

A must read for everyone, there are moments where you will laugh and cry. Christa's journey gives inspiration to those who have endured any kind of abuse along the way. This is a powerful story of ending generational abuse and embracing self love. I highly recommend this book and I am looking forward to reading her next book!

Recovery

Christa Jan Ryan has captured the intense turmoil that is ever present in the lives of addictive families. She poignantly depicts the insanity, the denial, and the warped relationships that exist and thrive in this environment. She speaks from her heart in this painful memoir, with the honesty and clarity of a recovering addict. This book is a beacon of hope for women in abusive and/or addictive relationships, families, situations, etc. It speaks to the struggle necessary for change, the fears that must be faced, and the courage necessary for survival. I look forward to a possible sequel, displaying continued success in Christa's endeavors. She offers hope to all who seek it and need it.

Inspiring and Moving Read!

Silent Screams from The Hamptons is an honest and touching personal story about a woman who grows up in a family struggling with dysfunction and alcoholism and finds herself caught in the same cycle as an adult. This autobiography gives an honest, and sometimes humorous account of how the author found herself "stuck" in an abusive relationship with an alcohol addiction as the common thread between them. She takes us on her journey of becoming an alcholic and how she was finally successful in her recovery. This is an inspiring story and quick read. I recommend it to anyone interested in gaining insight into the world of addiction and domestic violence, or just interested in reading a great story of one person's triumph over life's difficult challenges.
