Silenced in Eden

Jo's daughter changed everything, the moment their eyes met, Jo knew that she would be responsible for introducing the world to her child. What she exposes this baby to will become normal to her. So, what will she do if her normal is not the normal she wants for this child?

In Silenced in Eden, Jo Lloyd Johnson takes readers on her journey to finding a new normal. A normal without patriarchy, dissociation, self-hatred, and sexual shame. As Jo began to question her indoctrination, she uncovered her childhood sexual abuse and how it had played a role in her view of herself and the world around her.

Silenced in Eden is a story of a mother's love. Jo did not have the courage to change for herself, but she found the courage to change for her daughter.

This book is meant to be a voice for all who have been silenced and encourage others to speak their painful truths. Because of this, a dollar from each book sale will go to the nonprofit Louder Than Silence.

Louder Than Silence exists to provide survivors of sexual violence with the community and resources needed to gain hope and healing. They focus on paying for EMDR (trauma) therapy, hosting workshops and retreats, providing self-care kits, and much more. Their biggest dream is that survivors know that they are not alone and have a foundation of support among other survivors as they navigate their journeys together.
