SOME GIRLS LEARN TO SPEAK SOME LEARN TO SURVIVE *Readers who will love this book: those who enjoy deeply personal memoirs, have experienced loss, trauma, or family secrets; those who believe healing and transformation are possible and are searching for the courage to tell their own story. Tap Dancing in the Corner: surviving, trauma, secrets, and lies is a powerful and deeply personal memoir about resilience, truth, and the courage it takes to reclaim your voice. For more than 15 years, Kathy Flammang carried this story quietly within her. Then, in the early hours of November 4, 2025, a single sentence woke her from sleep and would not let go: ”73 flights of stairs— 73 years of a battle-scarred life lived.” That moment opened the floodgates. in this moving memoir, Kathy invites readers into the corners of her life— places shaped by family, secrets, silence, grief, and survival. With honesty, compassion, and occasional humor, she reflects on the experiences that shaped her: growing up on an Iowa farm, navigating complicated family relationships, losing her husband, searching for healing, and ultimately discovering the strength to tell her story. Through vivid memories and quiet reflections, Kathy explores themes many readers will recognize in their own lives: • The weight of unspoken truths • the courage it takes to confront the past • the long journey from survival to healing • and the power of finding your voice, even after years of silence. Interwoven with her original sketches and reflections, Tap Dancing in the Corner is not simply a story of trauma— It is the story of endurance, creativity, and hope. This book is for anyone who has ever felt pushed into a corner… and wondered if there was a way back out. Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is tell the truth about our lives. some stories wait years to be told. Tap dancing in the corner is one woman’s journey from silence to voice— And a reminder that healing is possible, even after a lifetime of carrying the weight of untold truths.
