Silent Executioners — Book Trailer
Looking at the childhood cost of what gets praised as maturity.
About the book and trailer
A child hears a door close and adjusts what they were about to say. Asking for little, apologising quickly and hiding distress can start to look like competence. Years later, praise for being strong or mature seldom includes a question about the needs sacrificed along the way. Silent Executioners turns towards that cost.
The child expected to make the family proud, the child blamed for everything and the child who learns to disappear have different experiences. Conditional affection, neglect, shame and adult responsibilities can each make personal boundaries difficult to recognise. The book considers these patterns without diagnosing parents from a distance.
