Leena Sarfrazโs Published Book Itโs Time to Raise Your Voice Shares a Personal Story of Healing
Written in a simple and reflective voice, the book follows the authorโs life from a caring childhood into experiences that changed her sense of safety and belonging. Rather than focusing on drama or resolution, the story offers an honest account of endurance and gradual healing.

Leena Sarfraz grew up in a close and loving family, where she felt protected and valued. That sense of safety was disrupted by trauma at a young age, followed by an early marriage and later migration to Canada. As a young immigrant and single mother, she faced poverty, emotional isolation, and the challenges of rebuilding life in a new country.
The memoir reflects on these experiences with clarity and restraint. It shows how silence became a way to survive, even as it slowly took a toll on the authorโs emotional and physical well-being.

A central theme of the book is the cost of not speaking. The author writes about how years of holding pain inward affected her health, including her experience with fibromyalgia. The memoir explores the connection between trauma, stress, and the body, without making claims or offering medical conclusions.
By sharing this part of her story, the book opens space for readers to reflect on how unspoken experiences can shape long-term health and emotional balance.

Healing, as shown in the story, did not come all at once. It unfolded slowly through therapy, faith, gentle movement practices, and writing. Writing became a way for the author to understand her past and begin reclaiming her sense of self.
The book does not position healing as a destination. Instead, it presents it as an ongoing process that begins when silence is acknowledged rather than ignored.

Leena Sarfraz has shared that the decision to write this book came from a personal need to heal and to honor the promises she made to herself and to the loved ones she lost. Over time, sharing her experiences encouraged other women to speak quietly about their own stories, often in private conversations.
The narrative was written not to instruct, but to bear witness to a life lived through silence and the slow return of voice.
Sarfraz has also spoken about the support she received early in her life.
