Breaking the Silence is a fiction novel by Diamante Lavendar that reveals the cycle of abuse and innocence stolen.  Joan Eastman, as the main character, breaks the silence of her life that was almost snuffed out from early childhood abuse beginning at the tender age of two. Triumphant and declaring God's goodness, even when others perpetrate evil, this novel is an inspiring testament to the courage of abuse victims to not keep silent and also boldly proclaims healing for the soul that ushers in peace that is available to all through living in the light of Jesus Christ's peace and love.

Through Joan’s diary entries, as she embarks on her second pregnancy, many winding roads reveal a series of life-lessons learned, offering wisdom and solace. In her journey and desperately seeking solutions, Joan embarks on her second pregnancy. The book begins with a scene at her doctor's office. As bed rest is advised to keep the baby to full-term, Joan brings home a diary and reveals her life story. Endearing and touching, readers will come to understand that life is a process, with many twists and turns.

The book cover also beautifully represents a glimpse of symbolically coming to life after death -  revealing God’s transformative power in healing a wounded soul. Let this book bring peace, wisdom and strength to all who have been abused.

The author has written and dedicated this to you - those who have “broken the silence” to continue on into “living” not as one who is not dead in their soul, but having understanding that life and light are found only in Christ and His saving grace.

A powerful read and a well-written novel.
