The Big Dark: A Memoir of Survival, Silence, and Finally, a Voice
In her compelling debut memoir, The Big Dark: A Memoir of Survival, Silence, and Finally, a Voice, Pamela Elaine Telford shatters the silence surrounding decades of covert emotional and psychological abuse. Her story will resonate deeply with countless survivors who have endured in silence, conditioned to hide their pain.
For more than thirty years, Pam appeared to lead a successful, fulfilling lifeāas a dedicated wife, mother, and professional. Yet behind closed doors, she confronted a much darker reality: feelings of isolation, manipulation, and emotional trauma inflicted by a man who masked himself as a hero but was, in truth, a skilled narcissist.
With bravery and empathy, Telford offers an honest and raw glimpse into the complex dynamics of trauma bonding, gaslighting, and emotional captivity. From the confusing highs of love bombing to the crushing lows of psychological dominance, The Big Dark explores the subtle devastation of abuseāinjuries that leave no visible scars but leave a lasting imprint on the soul.
āIf youāve ever questioned your reality, minimized your pain, or stayed silent just to keep the peaceāthis book is for you,ā Telford shares. More than just a memoir, The Big Dark serves as a lifelineāa shining light of hope for those still living in the shadows.
Pamela Elaine Telford, RDH, brings a lifetime of service and compassion. A seasoned dental hygienist, high school teacher, and coach, she has dedicated over four decades to helping others. Now, through her memoir, she bravely shares her personal journey so others might find recognition and healing in their own.
The Big Dark is not solely about surviving abuse; it is about reclaiming your power, voice, and self-worth. Itās a story of resilience, awakening, and choosing to rise above the darkness.
