Across generations and continents, they rise from silence to speak their truths: of love and loss, of resistance and longing, of faith, exile, and survival. Among them are the iconic and the forgotten, women we thought we knew, now revealing who they truly were, and others whose names were never spoken aloud. Each voice burns like a candle in the dark, passing its flame to the next, forming a fragile, luminous chain of remembrance that refuses to fade.

It was there—on the land by the Bay of Fundy, with the highest tides in the world—that every stitch of every seam began to unravel. My body had been screaming for years under the weight of what I had stored.
