I. Katchastarr
In Because I Didn't Tell, author I. Katchastarr offers a self-help autobiography detailing an account of the horrific events of her young adult life. These events fiercely unraveled her once-safe world into a dungeon of despair propelled by life-or-death threats and brain-washed promises of "not to tell."
An emotional story told with courage, Because I Didn't Tell shares Katchastarr's journey as a survivor and a thriver, and not a victim. It serves as an inspiration to others in abusive relationships--bullying, mental, emotional, verbal, physical, and sexual--to find courage, have faith, stay strong, speak up, and tell.
