Inhaltsangabe

Silence is Often Mistaken for Peace
The One Who Left the Table is a compassionate exploration of how silence lives inside families committed to preserving the peace. It asks who benefits from that quiet, who carries its weight, and what happens when the cost of holding it becomes too great.

Through reflective fragments and psychological insight, Shannon Hogan Cohen examines the role of the emotionally perceptive one, where endurance is mistaken for loyalty, and harmony is maintained at the expense of honesty. When truth finally enters the room, it is often met with resistance, recast as disruption rather than recognized as an invitation to see what has long gone unnamed.

Written in short, free-form passages, this book reads like a pocket companion for navigating silence, difficult conversations, and the courage required to choose agency. For anyone who has set aside their own truth in service of the greater whole, this book offers language, clarity, and a quiet reassurance: you are not alone and you can give yourself permission to leave the table.

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Shannon Hogan Cohen writes to make sense of the world. From a young age, she filled notebooks with reflections, always searching for meaning, connection, and the hidden threads beneath life's surface, an instinct shaped by her childhood love of Nancy Drew mysteries. Whether it's finding patterns in chaos or truth in tangled relationships, storytelling has always been her compass. A freelance writer with work published across community advocacy platforms, travel magazines, and personal essay outlets, Shannon gives voice to the often unspoken. She writes with heart, humor, and an unapologetic splash of truth-telling. When she's not wandering the world and championing legacies, you'll find her in her beloved "babe cave," savoring quiet moments of reading, writing, and sipping a cup of coffee or crisp white wine. She lives with her family in Del Mar, California.

Tristen Vance Henderson, MS, LMFT, developed a passion for working with children, adolescents, couples and families in community-based settings, inpatient and outpatient treatment, multiple schools, athletic, and corporate programs.

She values her most important roles in life as Mama to her beautiful, sporty kids and Boxer, Sugar; Auntie T to her nieces, nephews and family of choice, and of course, most importantly, wifey to Cam.
