About What Was Taken, What Remains
What Was Taken, What Remains is a haunting, deeply human memoir of survival, silence, and the quiet strength that rises in the face of trauma. Isla Rue invites readers into the delicate spaces between memory and healing — where loss is named, voices are reclaimed, and resilience is rewritten in real time.
Told with poetic clarity and emotional grace, this memoir traces Isla’s journey through childhood trauma, institutional silence, and the slow, defiant act of becoming her own witness. Each chapter uncovers what was hidden, stolen, or silenced — but more importantly, what still remains: a voice. A truth. A self.
