I Am the Story I Was Afraid to Tell
Liliana Caliente-Cazadora
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
In I Am the Story I Was Afraid to Tell, Liliana Caliente-Cazadora peels back the layers of silence and shame to share a poetic memoir that is raw, haunting, and achingly honest. Through a collection of free verse poems, she explores the unspoken truths of her life—childhood shaped by addiction and violence, the sudden loss of her mother, unreported trauma, complicated love, and the long journey to self-acceptance.
Told in five thematic sections, these poems offer snapshots of a girl growing up too fast, a survivor learning to breathe again, and a woman discovering her voice in a world that tried to quiet her. With fierce vulnerability and lyrical clarity, Liliana invites readers into the spaces most people try to hide—the messy, the painful, the tender, and the resilient.
This is not just a story of what she's been through. It's a story of what she's become.
I Am the Story I Was Afraid to Tell is a love letter to the ones still learning how to take up space, to speak the truth, and to choose themselves—softly, boldly, and without apology.
