What I Hid to Keep You Strong

By Kevin N. Bell

An invisible disability. A fierce custody battle. And the little toy spider that saved a daughter's voice.

To the world, Kevin N. Bell is a profound spiritual philosopher and the author of the beloved children's book, Spider Ibeeboo. To his daughter, Journey, he was an invincible mountain of strength-a father who fought relentless legal wars to keep her safe, always greeting her tears with a silly toy spider and a gentle reminder to "use your words."

But as an adult, wife, and mother, Journey uncovers the heartbreaking truth her father spent a lifetime hiding to protect her.

Every hour he spent patiently teaching her to express her emotions was fueled by fighting a daily, agonizing war against chronic trauma.
