Author hopes to spread message that individuals can overcome obstacles through personal growth and transformation
COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 5, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Breaking the Silence" is a coming-of-age story that explores the struggles of poverty, bullying, and hope. John, the main character, faces constant torment from Odell, the school bully, and longs for a better life. Despite the odds stacked against him, John perseveres, holding onto the hope that he will one day escape his circumstances and make something of himself.
Author James Vision Jacobs presents the issues of bullying and violence as a critical message in his book. He hopes to remind readers that the significance of these issues and the role they can play in creating safer and more inclusive environments. He even includes resources and steps to take in regard to depression, suicidal thoughts and bullying.
"An important mission to men and the goal of this book is to raise awareness about the critical issues of violence, bullying, and mental health in our communities," said Jacobs. "Our goal is to create a safer and healthier environment for our children by improving their lives through education and support."
Jacobs highlights the importance of resilience, perseverance, and the power of education while presenting a story about overcoming adversity and finding hope in even the darkest of places. He hopes the book can be used to open discussions in classrooms, as a potential resource for parents to gain insights into the struggles teens go through, and to provide hope and encouragement to those going through similar mental struggles.
"I want my readers to recognize the role they can play in creating safer and more inclusive environments," said Jacobs, "and to encourage them to take a stand against bullying and violence and to support those who may be experiencing these challenges."
