About the Book

The man she called Daddy was her grandfather. The man who said he loved her was a predator. The woman who raised her knew more than she ever said.

Cheryl Wright grew up inside an architecture of silence so complete that even the truth had nowhere to go. In Sacramento, California, in a house where the rules were set by adults and children were not permitted to question them, she learned early that survival meant compliance and that the most dangerous people were often the ones closest to home.

By thirteen, she had been abused by two men, survived a trial, and given birth alone in a hospital room. No one named what had been done to her. No one said she was not at fault. She carried it the only way available to her: quietly, alone, and forward.

Still Standing is not a story about what was done to her. It is a story about who she became anyway, a daughter, a mother, a graduate of UC Berkeley, a leader, and a woman who finally found the language for what silence costs.

For anyone who has survived something that was never their fault and had to carry it alone, this is that testimony.

The morning kept coming. It always does.
