The Things No One Knew

By Tamara Gray

From the moment she entered the world, Necole stood out-her pale skin, fragile curls, and dancing eyes setting her apart in a family and community unprepared to understand her. Born with albinism and raised in an environment shadowed by instability, addiction, and secrets, she learned early that silence was survival and invisibility was protection.

But the things no one knew were the very things that shaped her.

Behind closed doors, Necole endured trauma she was too young to name and pain she was taught to hide. As she navigated childhood through the eyes of a girl who looked different, felt different, and was treated differently, she carried emotional wounds that followed her into adulthood-leading her into toxic relationships, failed marriages, and battles with her own mental health.

Yet this is not just a story of what broke her.
It is a story of what rebuilt her.

Through moments of divine intervention, unexpected acts of love, and a resilience she didn't know she had, Necole begins to unbury her truth and reclaim the pieces of herself she thought were lost forever. The Things No One Knew is a raw, intimate, and unflinching memoir about survival, identity, and the long, winding journey toward healing.

In telling the story she was never meant to survive, Necole discovers the woman she was always meant to become.Told with unflinching honesty and poetic emotional depth, this memoir is a must read.
