Read More About Author Tracy Wilson's Powerful Memoir
In Justice: In Her Honour, Tracy Wilson pulls back the veil on the horrors she endured as a child caught in the cruel grip of domestic violence. Through piercing prose and unforgettable imagery, Tracy gives voice to the silent witness—the child who lives in the shadow of terror and loss, a casualty of the hatred and abuse between adults. With each page, she recounts her journey from the heart of this darkness to the light of resilience and healing—a path that was anything but easy.
This memoir begins with her mother, Morslene Wilson—a woman whose quiet dreams of teaching and writing were crushed by the brutality of a marriage that blurred the lines between love and terror. Through the wide, wondering eyes of a young Tracy, readers are plunged into the grim reality of her life with a stepfather whose alcoholism and violence shattered any semblance of peace and left scars that lingered far beyond her childhood. But this story doesn’t end with fear—it moves through survival and into a space where strength grows and hope endures.
Set against the richly layered backdrop of Guyana, the Caribbean, and the United States, Tracy’s narrative spans four tumultuous decades. She vividly describes the trauma of witnessing her mother’s murder and the betrayal of a legal system that let her mother’s killer walk free. Her voice, raw and unfiltered, reveals the profound depths of her suffering—and the monumental courage it took to forgive and rise above it. Her story is not only an exposé on domestic abuse but a manifesto for survival and a call to action.
Justice: In Her Honour is dedicated to all who have suffered in silence, to those haunted by shame and fear, and to those still fighting for the justice they deserve. Tracy’s story stands as a fierce reminder that we must speak out and refuse to accept abuse as a norm. This memoir is more than a recounting of survival—it is a declaration of dignity, a testament to resilience, and a beacon of hope for those who need to believe that, even in the darkest times, justice and healing are possible.
