You were there for me more than you know and taught me how to love and that forgiveness is ok. I come from so much pain, this book made me realize why i felt what i did at times and your story will forever shape my process to start healing..... thank you Val. Thank you thank you thank you ! Your story comes from incredible strength! Everyone needs to read this book! Thank you for going back to the pain in order to share the hope and love that come from surviving it. You are such a role model and always have been a rock who taught people the value of honesty, not only spoken but living in honest circumstances. Thank you for sharing. - Ashley Hudon I 100% recommend ordering this book! I read it tonight in one sitting. I could not put it down. I, like many others, have experienced trauma. It's a book that resonates with so many people. The Silent Crazies is a true story about addictions, abuse, trauma, divorce, death, and healing. The author has experienced far too many traumatic experiences in her lifetime, and I admire her resilience. It's super interesting seeing how trauma can spiral from generation to generation. - Krista
