Inheritance of Silence

Some inherit land. Others inherit silence.Born in Iran and raised inside the ache of a house that didn't know how to love gently, Sheidaie writes her way through the shadows of girlhood, grief, exile, and reclamation.Inheritance of Silence is a fierce and tender debut poetry collection that peels back the layers of childhood trauma, generational shame, and the aching hunger for love in places that offered only survival.In four hauntingly honest parts: The Root, The Echo, The Reckoning, and The Healing Sheidaie traces the invisible scars passed down through silence, and the slow, courageous unraveling of that silence through voice, softness, and rage.This is poetry for the woman who was told to stay quiet. For the girl who was called dramatic. For the soul still waiting to come home to itself.Let this book hold you in the places no one else has touched. Let it remind you: your voice was never too much.
