In A Shame, Leangela Jones does what many have been too afraid to do — she tells the full truth. Written with raw honesty and unflinching courage, this memoir confronts the abuse that shaped her childhood and the culture of silence that surrounded it for decades.

This is not a story of victimhood. It is a declaration of survival, strength, and the refusal to carry shame that was never hers to bear. With searing clarity, Leangela reclaims her narrative and invites every silenced survivor to do the same.
