Silent Struggles: Finding My Voice

By Dilip Nath

At thirteen, I was the kid who never shut up. By fourteen, I couldn't speak at all.

Silent Struggles: Finding My Voice is the raw, honest memoir of Dilip Nath, a teenage boy who went from confident extrovert to silent sufferer when a rare voice disorder called puberphonia trapped his voice in an unnaturally high pitch during seventh grade.

For an entire year, Dilip navigated the brutal hallways of middle school with a voice that made classmates laugh and teachers assume he was joking. Doctor after doctor told him nothing was wrong. His confident world shrank to one-word answers, avoided phone calls, and nights spent crying into his pillow.

Then, at 3 AM, he found a YouTube video that changed everything.

This is not an inspirational story wrapped in a pretty bow. This is the messy, painful, sometimes funny truth about what happens when your own voice becomes your enemy - and the grueling journey to get it back.

Perfect for teens facing invisible struggles, parents seeking hope, and anyone who has ever felt voiceless.
