"The Girl They Couldn't Silence"
Debra Lewis
Debra Lewis is a storyteller, truth-teller, and survivor. Her life has been shaped by challenges that would silence most — but instead, she chose to speak. Born into a world of secrets and struggles, Deb fought through trauma, heartbreak, and loss to find her voice. Today, she uses that voice to inspire others to embrace their truth, no matter how hard or messy it might be.
Her memoir, The Girl They Couldn’t Silence, is a testament to resilience, love, and the courage to break cycles. Deb wrote this book for her grandchildren, for those who feel invisible, and for the girl she used to be.

A Playful Little Ditty
This is the story of how my life turned around,
From silence and secrets to claiming my crown.
The family I came from tried to keep me down,
But I rose through the fire—I refuse to drown.
I took my grief and flipped it upside-down,
Turned the tears into lessons, made wisdom profound.
Not a fresh prince, but a queen who was found,
I’m spitting my truth, my power resounds.
From shadows in Quincy to standing worldwide,
I broke through the silence, I swallowed no lies.
Every scar on my soul, yeah, it made me strong,
Now I’m singing my story like a victory song.
The girl they couldn’t silence is holding the mic,
Dropping words of resilience, love, and light.
What tried to destroy me became my crown,
Now I’m living out loud—I won’t back down.
So here’s the finale, the moment I claim,
The link to my book, remember my name.
Dun-da-da-dun—my truth is alive,
Go hit that Amazon link, the queen has arrived!

The Girl They Couldn't Silence
The Girl They Couldn’t Silence is more than a memoir — it’s a journey of survival, resilience, and truth. “I was the family secret no one spoke of. The mistake that changed everything.”
Debra Lewis shares her raw, unfiltered story of a childhood scarred by silence, alcoholism, racism, and violence. This deeply moving memoir takes you through the heartbreak of losing a child, the struggle to break generational cycles, and the quiet yet powerful process of healing through love.
This book is for anyone who has ever felt unseen, unheard, or unworthy. It’s about breaking free from pain without erasing it, and learning that healing isn’t about pretending — it’s about reclaiming your power and your voice.
