“Breaking The Silence Receives A 5-Star Editorial Book Review Awarded By Reader’s Favorite 2024!”

Deb Morgan, the author
 of the Amazon best-selling memoir “Graceful Agony: An Intimate Memoir of Living with Fibro & Chronic Fatigue,” has published a new book titled “Breaking The Silence: Confronting Guilt and Shame in the Chronic Pain World” for readers who suffer from chronic pain, and loved ones.

According to the ‘Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,’ as of 2021, approximately 20.9% of U.S. adults (51.6 million people) experienced chronic pain, and 6.9% (17.1 million people) experienced high-impact chronic pain. Along with the diagnosis of chronic pain, which is beyond one’s control, it can induce feelings of shame and guilt that most times come from stigma.

‘Breaking The Silence’ is an exceptional and easy-to-read guidebook that offers various tools and techniques to help those diagnosed with chronic pain or any chronic illness that involves pain as a symptom. Reading this book can help one navigate through chronic pain and overcome feelings of shame and guilt. It also facilitates open communication between chronic pain sufferers, their families, and friends.

“The author emphasizes throughout this book that “No one should face suffering in silence.”


************************


Debra Morgan is a celebrated author and advocate who writes about addiction recovery, fibromyalgia, mental health, and high-impact chronic pain. Her latest books include “Graceful Agony,” a bestseller on Amazon, and “Breaking the Silence,” aimed at those with chronic pain. Debra draws on her personal experiences to provide support and hope to her readers. All her books are available on Amazon Kindle and B&N and featured on fine literary sites.

For Deb, it was not about being a survivor but learning to thrive again while easing the path for others facing their fibro challenges. The author was born and raised in Colorado and lived in Arizona until 2012, when she moved to Oregon. Meanwhile, missing her grown children and grandchildren, she moved back to Arizona in 2021. She has been featured as a guest on many podcasts and radio shows, sharing her recovery journey while raising awareness about addiction. She has maintained sobriety since 1993.

With her diagnosis of Fibro in 2005 and other medical conditions, she is committed to her recovery of healing while helping others do the same as a tireless advocate and a woman who has come out the other side of addictions, trauma, and much more as a “Survivor and Warrior.” Today, Deb is focused on writing and sharing her experiences with Fibro and chronic fatigue/pain; as heart-tugging as the downside can be, it is one of pure perseverance.

The author has been happily married to her soulmate and is a mother of two grown, successful children. She enjoys reading, painting, and traveling when not advocating, speaking, or writing. Her “#1 happy place” is spending time with all the grandchildren she adores. Deb and her husband continue to reside in Chandler, Arizona.

5-Star Editorial Book Review by Readers’ Favorite


Reviewed by Delene Vrey for Readers’ Favorite

Breaking The Silence by Deborah Morgan is aptly sub-titled Confronting Guilt and Shame in The Chronic Pain World.
Deb, who has written her memoir about living with chronic pain, identifies that many chronic pain sufferers deal with a large amount of shame and guilt due to childhood experiences and the way society at large and family view and treat those who suffer from chronic pain. She provides thought-through techniques and advice to overcome these feelings and live a successful and fulfilling life.

Being a chronic pain sufferer herself, Deb shows insight and understanding of the difficulties faced by sufferers, be it how to cope with the emotions and feelings that can lead to isolation or how to deal with family members who minimize or negate their condition. The aim of this book is to set chronic pain sufferers free from guilt and shame and cultivate open and honest communication between those affected.

Deborah Morgan has written an easy-to-read book concerning chronic pain and how to break through the silence and stigma that chronic pain sufferers face. She has first-hand experience with the topics she addresses and the tips and advice she provides. The book is written in clear and accessible language, and repetition is helpful, especially as many who suffer from chronic pain also have difficulty concentrating.

I found the chapter about the psychology behind dismissal very helpful as I am a fibromyalgia sufferer and have had much trouble understanding the way that others reacted and still react to my diagnosis. This book can be of use to any sufferer of chronic pain as well as those who want to understand their loved one who is in constant pain.

Breaking The Silence: Confronting Guilt and Shame in The Chronic Pain World does what the title implies. It helps you learn how to love yourself and communicate your feelings to those who need to understand what a pain sufferer endures to become more supportive in a healing way. Highly recommend!

Cat Welcomes Author Rod Ballard, a Reader’s Favorite Award-Winning Writer Who Just Released His New Book “Back To Slavery.”

Royal is an outstanding high school basketball player from Atlanta, Georgia, who has a bright future ahead of him. Even though things are going great for him, he really doesn’t understand how far his people (African ancestors) have come for him to be able to be in the position he’s in. Royal didn’t care much about what his ancestors had to go through in the past. He thought slavery was pretty simple. “Just sit back, do your work in the fields, and listen to the white man. How bad could that be?”

Not caring about how tough slavery was for his ancestors, one night after he falls asleep, Royal awakens in an unfamiliar place. He wasn’t in Atlanta, Georgia, anymore. He wakes up on a slave plantation where he witnesses hangings, beatings, sufferings, and hard labor in the fields. He goes to sleep every night wishing to wake up in his bed back in Atlanta, only to wake back up in ‘slavery’ each time. Royal is horrified as he tries to survive slavery and everything that comes with it. Will Royal ever make it back home? Or will he forever be stuck back in slavery?


Rod Ballard is an Award-Winning, acclaimed writer and entrepreneur who is a native of South Carolina, born and raised. With four published books to his credit, including his newly released title “Back to Slavery,” he has been awarded numerous Readers’ Favorite 5-Star Editorial Reviews. He has been writing since childhood but took it seriously in 2015. Rod’s books are available on Amazon Books, Amazon Kindle, Barnes Noble, and many fine online book sites.

As a black boy living in Atlanta, Georgia, with a wonderful family and a promising basketball career, loved by his teachers and classmates alike, Royal thought that life couldn’t be more perfect. He based his view on material things and didn’t stop to appreciate that life hadn’t always been like that for his people. Anytime he was reminded of his privileges, especially considering what his ancestors had been through in earlier times, slaving away for their white masters, he brushed it aside. However, a day came when he experienced something that changed his life and his perspective forever. What could that be, and what did he experience? Back to Slavery by Rod Ballard is a drama that reviews black history and pinpoints several lessons that can be learned from it.

Back to Slavery has two settings, relating to both historical and modern times. Each comes with a specific language and style, giving the reader a different experience and the ability to enjoy the author’s rich talent for writing. There is also abundant use of suspense to keep readers longing for more and keeping them on their toes the whole time. I love the sense of mystery that surrounds certain events in the story.

Above all, the moral lessons are enormous. It helps humans, especially black Americans, to be aware of their history and know the price their ancestors paid for them to be where they are at the moment. It also preaches the equality of races and the need for everyone to live in peace, irrespective of their race or color. The book helps us to be grateful for what we have now and be empathetic toward the plight of others who are not as privileged as we are. I enjoyed reading this amazing work from Rod Ballard, and I hope that others appreciate it as much as I did. I highly suggest everyone read it!


Cat hopes you have enjoyed meeting our newest amazing author in the book library!
