Book

A Soldier's Cry: Breaking the Silence on Military Sexual Trauma is a groundbreaking memoir that courageously reveals the hidden wounds left by abuse and the institutional silence that protects it within the Canadian Armed Forces. Drawing from personal experience, the author traces a journey from idealistic enlistment to profound betrayal, navigating the lifelong aftermath of military sexual trauma, complex PTSD, and dissociative identity disorder. Written with compassion and clarity, this book intertwines raw personal narrative with systemic insight and practical resources, serving as both a deeply human story of survival and a call for reform. Through trauma-informed language and care for the reader, A Soldier's Cry offers validation for survivors, education for allies and professionals, and concrete steps for navigating legal, medical, and support systems. This is not only an account of trauma and loss but also of resilience, hope, and the power of breaking the silence for personal and institutional healing.
