CHARLOTTE, N.C. – June 12, 2026 – Darlene Lekowski has achieved #1 Amazon Bestseller status with her debut memoir Shattering Silence: A Story of Survival, Justice, and the Power of Telling the Truth, which also earned multiple New Release rankings across Amazon categories shortly after its April 2026 launch.
The book, co-authored with Jess Greenwood and published by Soul Speak Press, has reached top positions including #1 in Self-Help (Abuse) and Inner Child categories, along with leading placements in sociology and abusive family relationship categories.
Memoir Rooted in Survival and Legal Victory
Shattering Silence chronicles Lekowski’s decades-long journey of recovery following childhood abuse and the lasting psychological impact it had across her personal and professional life. The memoir also details her later decision to speak publicly about her experiences and the subsequent legal dispute involving a family member, which she ultimately won in court.
Legal professionals involved in related proceedings described the case as an example of resilience and the importance of due process.
“Darlene’s story is a powerful reminder that behind every case is a human being—and that justice requires both legal skill and compassion,” said Jeff Kuykendal of MGC Law Firm.
Her publisher also emphasized the broader message behind the book’s release.
“Her victory became more than legal vindication—it became a powerful message: your voice matters, and the truth is worth fighting for,” said Jessica Buchanan, Founder of Soul Speak Press.
