Maya Angelou once said, "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."
Silent Waves tells one true story led by 25-year-old Raquel O'Brien, as she attempts to liberate herself from the trauma of childhood sexual abuse and a father with a dark secret.
To do so, she has raw, honest and open conversations with her family about the cataclysmic circumstances of their story for the first time... and all on tape.

Customer Reviews
Moving and enlightening
A great balance between the personal story and credible information about sexual abuse in families. Highly recommend listening to eatery episode.
Fantastic
Great narration, very well produced, excellent music choice. Casefile has consistently produced top notch podcasts. I hope this helped all of those involved in healing, and helps others who may be struggling with similar issues.
Sure
Not sure what the heck I just listened to… But the narrator has an amazing voice. She needs to do ASMR.
