The Things Sophia Never Said
She smiled so no one would ask questions.
She laughed so no one would look too closely.
She disappeared - and no one even noticed.
Things Sophia Never Said is the devastatingly honest story of a girl who felt too much and said too little.
Sophia is the oldest daughter - the strong one. The quiet one. The one who's supposed to be fine.
But behind closed doors, she's unraveling.
Carrying the weight of a fractured home, unspoken trauma, and a silence so heavy it hurts to breathe.
At school, she's invisible.
At home, she's a ghost.
And in her mind, she's already halfway gone.
Told in lyrical fragments and aching journal entries, this novel explores depression, dissociation, panic attacks, sexual assault, and the crushing expectations placed on girls who are expected to hold everyone together - while falling apart themselves.
This isn't a story about being saved.
It's a story about what happens when no one listens in time.
Things Sophia Never Said will break your heart - and make you want to hold the people you love a little closer.
