STILL STANDING: FROM SILENCE TO PURPOSE

Available May 30, 2026

Some stories take a lifetime to tell.

This one took eight years to write.

Still Standing: From Silence to Purpose is the debut memoir of Cheryl Wright — a woman who survived childhood sexual abuse, became a mother at thirteen, testified against her abuser alone in a courtroom, and went on to graduate from the University of California, Berkeley as a single mother, earn a master's degree, build a career, and become an advocate for the voiceless.

This is not a how-to guide for healing. It is a testimony. A witness. A voice that was silenced for decades and is no longer.

It is written for every person who has carried shame they didn't earn, pain they didn't choose, and a silence they were never meant to keep. For everyone who has survived what they were never supposed to have to survive. For everyone who needs someone to say: where you start is not where you will end.

Cheryl Wright is still standing. And after reading this book, you will know that you can be too.

RELEASE DATE: MAY 30, 2026
