Shattered Silence

They say words can't hurt you.
But Ginger Langstaff knows better.

She married her high school sweetheart believing in forever. Craig was charming, passionate, a little moody—but she loved that about him. At least, she used to. Over time, the charm soured into cutting sarcasm. The passion turned to unpredictable anger. And the moodiness? It became control cloaked in criticism.

"You're too sensitive."
"No one else would put up with you."
"It's not abuse if I didn't touch you."

The bruises don't show on Ginger's skin—but they've left welts on her soul. Is she really as worthless as he says? Or has she simply been silent for so long that she's forgotten the sound of truth?

As her world shrinks and her voice fades, Ginger begins to cry out to the only One who still hears her. In the midst of the gaslighting and isolation, she discovers the still, small voice of a God who sees her, loves her, and calls her worthy.

Shattered Silence is a raw and redemptive journey through emotional and verbal abuse—one woman's fight to reclaim her identity, her faith, and the sound of her own voice. This is not just a story of survival. It's a testimony of grace.

Because only God can speak louder than the lies.
