Before I Could Remember tells the story of a young girl whose life was forever altered before her first birthday.
After a devastating tragedy tears apart her biological family, she is placed into foster care and later adopted by relatives. What appears to be a second chance soon becomes another battle for survival as she grows up in a home filled with fear, silence, and abuse.
Spanning childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, this deeply personal story explores trauma, resilience, family secrets, and the search for belonging. As she struggles to understand the past that shaped her, she must decide whether the pain she inherited will define her-or whether she can write a different ending.
Raw, emotional, and unflinchingly honest, Before I Could Remember is a story about surviving what should have broken you and finding your voice after years of being unheard
