Description
by Mildred Etherton (Author)
Unwanted. Unfixable. Unworthy.
Those are the lies Mildred Etherton had to survive before she could begin to tell the truth.
In The Lie That Named Me, Etherton shares a powerful memoir of childhood abuse, foster care, displacement, silence, and the painful search for identity. Raised in instability and shaped by systems that often rewarded survival while overlooking suffering, she learned early how to disappear, comply, and endure. But endurance was never the end of the story.
With courage and clarity, Etherton traces her journey from fear and fragmentation to truth and healing. She writes about foster care, aging out, trauma, family secrets, grief, motherhood, faith, and the difficult work of building a life without the safety, guidance, or permanence every child deserves.
This is not a story written for pity. It is a story of survival, resilience, and reclaiming a voice after years of silence. For readers who have lived through trauma, foster care, broken family systems, or the quiet ache of feeling unseen, The Lie That Named Me offers recognition, language, and hope.
