Before I Learned When to Stop Talking: Finding My Voices

Sometimes growing up means learning that your voice matters-even when you're still figuring out how to use it.Thirteen-year-old Sarah thinks growing up means choosing between speaking too much and saying not thing at all.After one brave moment in class changes how everyone sees her and how she sees herself-she begins a quiet, powerful journey through silence, courage, mistakes, and truth.As friendships shift, questions linger, and her relationship with her mother deepens, Sarah discovers that finding her voice isn't about being louder or quieter-it's about learning when to speak, when to listen, and how to trust herself.Tender, honest, and deeply relatable. Before I Learned When To Stop Talking is a story about growing up, being misunderstood, trying again, and realizing that even when everything changes, some things-like love and belonging-remain the same.
