Unmasking Silence: How Jeannie Vanasco Confronts a Hidden Trauma in Her Powerful Memoir
Ever been on the receiving end of the silent treatment and wondered if it’s some covert form of emotional blackmail wrapped in radio silence? Jeannie Vanasco’s third memoir, A Silent Treatment, dives headfirst into this tricky, painful game of silence that many of us know too well — especially when it’s wielded by someone as close and complicated as a family member. This isn’t just a tale about icy shoulders and cold war standoffs; it’s a raw, intimate exploration of love tangled up with silence, guilt, and the desperate hope for a thaw. Vanasco’s journey through her mother’s punitive silences is more than memoir — it’s a candid question mark: How do you stay connected when the conversation stops, and every word unsaid feels like a ticking time bomb? If you’ve ever felt invisible in a room full of your own people, this book might just hit a nerve — and maybe even offer some hard-earned wisdom on navigating the quiet storm.
