About

In the tradition of Glennon Doyle's Love Warrior, Karena Dawn's memoir, The Big Silence: A Daughter's Memoir of Mental Illness and Healing, is both harrowing and heart-wrenching as she chronicles her brutal journey from the emotionally abandoned daughter of a homeless schizophrenic mother through her teenage years as she desperately tried to escape her own inner demons, addicted to pain-numbing drugs and crippled by severe depression.

At the heart of Karena's story is the eternal struggle we all share- reconciling our internal voice with our external voice and moving past the pain and suffering of our battles to experience life's joys.
Ultimately, she begins a new journey of self-love that brings with it a renewed sense of identity and a life filled with hope and optimism.
