Cries No One Heard: A Raw Urban Tale of Survival, Silence, and Systemic Failure

Rate this book
Diamond Carter never stood a chance.

Orphaned as a baby and raised by an abusive aunt who wore a mask of fake love on Facebook, Diamond spent her childhood locked in silence, pain, and trauma no child should ever know. Behind those closed doors were secrets that would break most — but Diamond kept surviving.



Until surviving wasn’t enough.



This gut-wrenching urban fiction novel follows one young girl’s desperate cry for help that nobody heard until it was too late. When Diamond finally takes justice into her own hands, the system that failed her becomes her prison.



Cries No One Heard is a powerful, emotional, and unfiltered story that speaks for the voiceless, honors survivors, and exposes the truth behind fake smiles and social media lies.

Short book

This book was very short, no a lot of content. I read it in like 30 minutes and it was double spaced 😂 I was not impressed
