Book summary

This collection unveils the hidden toll of violence, silence, and emotional wounding on both men and women. Against the backdrop of a world where 1 in 3 women globally experience intimate partner violence, and where male trauma remains dangerously under-reported, these true-to-life narratives offer more than storytelling they become testimony. Each chapter cracks open a sealed vault of pain, tracing the scars left by betrayal, abuse, abandonment, and the weight of unspoken expectations. Yet within these whisperings of despair lies the unmistakable pulse of survival and healing. With emotional depth and psychological clarity, the book invites readers to witness how trauma distorts identity, isolates survivors, and inflames mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, and PTSD disorders that affect over 280 million people worldwide. But it does more than expose; it heals. Through stories of men silenced by pride and women dismissed by culture, it affirms: pain has no gender, and healing has no shame. I Know a Man, I Know a Woman is not only a literary intervention , it’s a balm for the wounded and a guide to healing.
