Everything They Wanted Quiet is a hauntingly beautiful memoir about reclaiming your voice in a world that taught you to stay silent. With raw honesty and lyrical grace, Kiara LaFountain peels back the layers of generational dysfunction, childhood trauma, and the unspoken burdens passed down through family lines.

From whispered secrets behind closed doors to the ache of being misunderstood, Kiara tells the truth others asked her to keep quiet-about what it means to survive, to mother differently, and to finally choose herself.

This is not a story of polite healing. This is a reckoning.

For anyone who grew up walking on eggshells, who became the parent they never had, who has wrestled with pain and still showed up with love-Everything They Wanted Quiet is a voice in the dark saying: you are not alone, and your truth matters.
