Fanen Chiahemen Signing

Join us in welcoming Fanen Chiahemen on Friday, March 29 from 4-7pm, where she will be signing her memoir, NEVER MAKE A SOUND. 

A young girl growing up in a turbulent family setting creates a secret inner world to escape her toxic environment. Emotionally neglected, confused and dislocated, she begins to exhibit erratic behaviour, and while the adults around her are unable to respond with love, her fantasy activity intensifies, sowing the seeds of alienation and a distorted self-image. Keenly observant, knowing and adaptive, she is driven to seek help despite the obstacles in her way, eventually finding the courage to take her first steps towards uncovering the truth.

Told through the eyes of a child in a suite of stories and poetry, never make a sound is a raw, intimate journey of a young girl finding a way to survive in an impossible situation. A true story of resilience and the strength of the human spirit.
