The Quiet That Raised Me
An ambassador. A father. A locked door. And the daughter who finally broke the silence.
In this intimate memoir, Angela Perry traces the quiet that shaped three generations of her family. Her grandfather helped build global peace as an ambassador. Her father lived behind silence that turned into storms. And Angela grew up in the shadow of both, trying to understand what love means when no one says it out loud.
This is a story about harm that was never named. About silence that was treated like safety. About finally speaking what generations were forced to swallow.
More than a memoir, this is a reckoning—
Silence passed down as legacy
Stories buried to protect appearances
The fear that joy could get you hurt
The decision to end it all with one voice
Told with clarity and grace, this book speaks to anyone who grew up learning to shrink themselves to survive. Each chapter opens a door that was once kept locked. This isn’t just a personal story. It’s a reclamation.
If silence shaped you, this book will help you put language to what happened—and choose what happens next.
For readers of Know My Name, Educated, and What My Bones Know.
