What happens when a child experiences the trauma of sexual assault at a very young age? HUSH! KEEP QUIET AND DON’T SAY ANYTHING is about a girl who survived some of the most agonizing moments of her life. She was innocent, young and unaware why the circumstances of her life led her to certain situations and yet she battled and fought in her own ways to get out of that situation.
Yolanda Gardner, in the book, HUSH! KEEP QUIET AND DON’T SAY ANYTHING, writes her own story. She was abandoned by her biological mother when she was an infant of only 14 days old. The girl was raised by her paternal grandmother who she knew and referred to as a mother because she treated her as her own child. The young girl grew up wishing for a sister. To fill that gap, she befriended another girl around the same age, which was her neighbor; ironically, they eventually became sisters by marriage.
Her life took another turn when her father was released from prison and unleashed hell, not only upon her but her friend too! Yolanda was elated at the idea of seeing her biological father again but little did she know that he was willing to give up his daughter’s innocence for personal gain. He began to sexually assault her over and over again and if this wasn’t enough, he allowed others to sleep with this little child at his convenience, turning her life into a pit of eternal darkness. Yolanda kept quiet and feared because he threatened to take her from the only person that was precious to her, her grandmother.
Yolanda wanted to speak up, but what would it have cost her? Was it worth losing her grandmother which was her entire world or was enduring the pain the only option?
