Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Before Christina Pudetti could tell the full story in The Child Who Learned to Hide, she was already writing.She wrote in the dark.She wrote in silence.She wrote during the years when no one seemed to understand how much she was carrying.The Girl Who Wrote in the Dark gathers early poems, writings, fragments, and adult reflections from the years Christina was trying to survive childhood trauma, emotional abandonment, family instability, abuse, rejection, and the desperate longing to be loved safely.This companion book does not replace the memoir. It sits beside it.Where the memoir tells what happened, these pages show what it felt like before Christina had the words to explain it.Part poetry collection, part survival record, and part adult witness, this book honors the girl who kept writing when speaking was not safe.
