WHAT READERS SAY ABOUT THE BOOK
Well-Witten. Life-Changing Read with Humor
Silent Screams from the Hamptons (2nd Edition) is Christa Jan Ryan’s compelling memoir that weaves the reader along the serpentine paths of the author’s life. Ryan takes us on an intoxicating journey that is one part thriller and a potent mix of toxic romance and the addiction of “make-up
sex” blended with domestic violence—and a tincture of humor.Ryan’s gripping story provides authentic details of the hard-scrabble-but-also meaningful world she was born into; her marriage to a narcissistic man whose talents were overshadowed by his myriad of addictions and his penchant for physical and emotional abuse; as well as the seduction of the charismatic culture and friendships that grew out of Ryan’s talents as a landscaper for the rich and famous who were planted in mansions along the byways of the
Hamptons.“Ryan’s storytelling is described as funny,
death-defying, exciting, and intensely immersive, pulling readers into the emotional reality of her experiences
with such immediacy that it feels as though they are living it alongside her. Yet beneath the entertainment lies a
deep sorrow and an even deeper purpose: illuminating the psychological traps that allow toxic cycles to persist, even when the warning signs are undeniable.Ryan wrote Silent Screams from the Hamptons to give language to what so many survivors struggle to name—how abuse can disguise itself as passion, how fear can be twisted into devotion, and how love can become a
cage.” (Official Press Release)How does Christa find the courage to escape with her two sons and find the route to self-love? With honesty, humor and hope. But, it was messages from God that led Ryan to find a powerful faith that guides her to break the chains of her own addictions and start anew. Excellent writing that draws in the reader and becomes a template for writing a fresh script for your own life.
