Until She Barely Existed: The Silent Struggle of Narcissistic Abuse
She smiled in public.
She wept in secret.
She stayed… until she barely existed.
For years, Taryn lived in the shadows of her husband’s narcissistic control—trapped in a cycle of manipulation, emotional abuse, and spiritual gaslighting that slowly stripped her of her identity. On the outside, her life looked picture-perfect. Inside, she was quietly falling apart.
Until She Barely Existed is a raw, gripping novel that shines a light on the hidden world of narcissistic abuse and the quiet strength it takes to survive. Through Taryn’s journey—from love bombing and subtle control to devastating emotional breakdowns—readers witness the slow unraveling of a woman fighting to hold onto her sanity, her family, and her faith.
But this is more than a story of survival. It’s a testament to resilience. As Taryn begins to find her voice again—with the help of unexpected friendships and inner courage—she steps onto the long, painful path toward freedom and healing.
For anyone who has ever questioned their worth, felt invisible in their own life, or struggled to break free from a toxic relationship, this book offers both a mirror and a You are not alone, and your healing is possible.

Tammy Eady Walker you knocked this one out of the park. I read your book on Munchausen by Proxy and this one popped up. What a personal insight into the hidden struggle of Narcissistic Abuse. This book follows a woman who finds herself in a group therapy session for victims of Narcissistic Abuse. The character, Taryn then forms a bond with others going through the same battle. I love all the aspects of healing that you would not think about on your own. Loved this!

Another great book by this author. She did a great job showing the true emotions of what a narcisist puts you through. I love all the quotes in the therapy sessions. My favorite... "No is a complete sentence." I felt like I was sitting in the therapy session myself.
