About this listen

What happens when silence becomes the language of a family?

In this lyrical and soul-stirring memoir, Angela Perry traces three generations of emotional inheritance—from her grandfather, a celebrated ambassador, to her father, a man shattered by childhood trauma, to herself, a daughter raised in the aftermath.

With poetic clarity and unflinching honesty, Perry explores the cost of unspoken pain, the long shadow of familial silence, and the quiet, radical beauty of breaking the cycle.

From a childhood marked by quiet violence to the sacred transformation of motherhood, Perry writes with tenderness, fury, and grace. Each chapter is a meditation on what it means to survive, to speak, and to choose love—even when you've never seen it modeled.

For listeners of Know My Name by Chanel Miller and Educated by Tara Westover, The Quiet That Raised Me is not just a memoir—it’s a reclamation.

If you’ve ever carried a story too long, this book is for you.
