In this raw and intimate memoir, Ja'Shaun Coley traces the invisible bruises left by rooms that were supposed to feel like home. Through fragmented memories and quiet revelations, he explores what it means to grow up in a family where love was tangled with silence, and survival meant learning how to disappear.

Each chapter is a room?some physical, some emotional?where breath was stolen and voice was buried. This is not a story of resolution. It's a reckoning. A reclamation. A quiet scream stitched into pages.

For anyone who's ever felt suffocated by the people closest to them, this book doesn't offer easy answers. It offers truth.
