The biography of Debbie Widhalm, “No More Silence,” is free and moving. Beginning with her very real fears as a young mother and continuing through years of extreme adversity, she describes her life’s journey. She never forgets the few moments of grace that kept her going despite the suffering she went through. This gives her story a melancholy yet hopeful feel for anyone who has experienced difficult times.
The difficult moments of life, such as abuse and loss, are not sugarcoated in her story. However, it strikes a good balance between these and the miracles and second chances that religion may offer. In the end, this book is about taking back your authority and voice after too long of silence. Debbie shows to us that speaking the truth is brave and that hope, no matter how far off it may seem, is always possible.
