The Novels
Quiet. Fear. — An Autobiographical Novel
Quiet. Fear. “Quiet. Fear.” is an emotionally raw story inspired by real-life events in the author, Cynthia J. Giachino’s life. She states: ‘Because I was a child, I didn’t understand. With no words, I couldn’t tell. Being silent made me feel sinful. Sins made me feel guilt. Guilt led to fear. Fear grew into a shame that immobilized me, leading to agoraphobia. I had to understand how and why this happened to me in order to be the mom I always dreamt I would become.
That’s where Quiet. Fear. That’s where “Quiet. Fear.” begins: seeking therapy for answers so I could fully understand the planning and collaborating that built my trauma. The story told through the eyes of Lilly, a character I created to process my past, use my voice, and open doors.
Walking with Lilly helps one grasp what a groomed child can experience and how those experiences affect life from a day to a year, and through decades. Your journey will have twists, pages will turn quickly, and you will discover that victims may not heal as fast as society expects unless the source of trauma is discovered and understood.
Open the door and allow this unforgettable journey with Lilly to begin.
