What do you do when the monster isn’t in the closet—he’s sitting at the dinner table?
Echoes in Her Bones: Memoirs of the Old Me is the unfiltered, gut-wrenching, and redemptive true story of a girl whose innocence was stolen, her voice silenced, and her body forced to carry a truth she didn’t know how to speak.
At fourteen, Tia Strickland learned that predators don’t always look like strangers. They can wear familiar faces, whisper apologies, and walk freely in daylight.
What followed was a pregnancy she didn’t know she carried, a baby she never got to hear cry, and a courtroom where she had to point at the man who shattered her childhood—and say his name.
This memoir isn’t a horror story.
It’s a resurrection story.
Tia takes you through:
the silence that almost killed her
the night her body froze instead of screamed
the hospital ultrasound that revealed a heartbeat that was already gone
the smallest casket a mother could ever hold
the trial that turned her trauma into testimony
and the faith that rebuilt her from ashes
Raw, vivid, and painfully human, Echoes in Her Bones confronts the realities so many survivors live with:
Dissociation, shame, blame, suicidal thoughts, grief, and the long, uneven road to healing.
But it is also a declaration:
Children don’t participate in trauma—they survive it.
This book is for:
Survivors of childhood sexual abuse
Mothers and fathers who want to understand
Advocates, educators, and therapists
Anyone who has ever wondered if they are “too broken” to be whole again
You may cry.
You may look away.
But you will never forget.
This is not the end of her story—
it is the beginning of becoming whole.
