About this listen
In homes where the wind blew through thin walls and silence was louder than words, children learned early to brace themselves. Some for the cold. Some for the yelling. Some for nothing at all because nothing ever came.
This book is a raw, unflinching exploration of what it means to grow up in rural Prince Edward Island in the shadow of unspoken rules, generational silence, and emotional survival. Told through layered narratives, lived experience, and cultural insight, it uncovers the quiet tragedies and ordinary dysfunction that shaped a generation.
From cold kitchens to rigid mothers, from rooms without doors to voices that never softened, this is not just a memoir, it is a mirror for every adult who walked through childhood learning to shrink.
With stark honesty and a deeply human voice, The Island We Don’t Talk About names the truths behind tidy curtains and smiling family photos. It invites listeners to remember, and begin again.
