Mother Shield — 23 Years of Silence" is a raw and powerful memoir that unveils the journey of Elisângela Banzato, a woman who endured unimaginable pain in silence. From a childhood marked by abandonment and abuse to entering a violent relationship at the age of thirteen, her life became a battlefield where survival was the only option. For twenty-three long years, she carried the weight of fear, humiliation, and violence, while shielding her children from the worst storms of a broken home. Her story is not only about suffering — it is also about resilience, maternal strength, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her children. This book is a testimony of courage: the cry of a woman who refused to give up, the voice of a mother who became a shield, and the rebirth of a soul that found freedom after decades of silence.
