I Am Not A Shrinking Violet Paperback – Large Print, May 18, 2025

Told through a unique blend of poetry, letters, direct reflections to the reader, and raw narration, Tiny shares the deeply personal story of a girl growing up as the daughter of immigrant parents chasing the American dream. What was meant to be a better life came at a high cost—one paid in silence, survival, and strength.Through both first and third-person storytelling, the author brings you into the mind of a child survivor navigating abuse, addiction, and abandonment in a home filled with chaos. You don’t just read about the trauma—you feel it. You see how a young girl makes sense of pain she can’t name, and how she learns to carry what she cannot escape.But this isn’t just a story of suffering. It’s also about finding light in dark places—through the kindness of strangers, the power of self-expression, and the unshakable will to keep going.By the end, you’ll cry, scream, and smile with her.
