Media Kit
There comes a moment when a story no longer belongs only to the person who lived it. It begins to belong to the conversations it sparks, the readers it reaches, and the silence it breaks.
Silent Screams from the Hamptons became that moment for me.
This page is for journalists, producers, podcast hosts, and event organizers who want to explore the story behind the memoir and the work that grew from it.
About the Memoir
Silent Screams from the Hamptons reached the #1 position on Amazon for six consecutive weeks. It is a deeply personal account of growing up in a home shaped by addiction and silence, building a life that looked successful, and eventually confronting the emotional cost of pretending everything was fine.
The memoir explores trauma, generational patterns, emotional addiction, faith, and recovery. It resonates because it does not exaggerate. It tells the truth.
Christa Jan Ryan's Cautionary Memoir of Love and Codependency
In her memoir The Compliant Cowgirl, Christa Jan Ryan follows a man to 1970s Wyoming, loses herself in the relationship, and writes the way back out of codependency.
In the 1970s, Christa Jan Ryan left a Long Island farm for a man she had not known long and a valley she had never seen. By the time she understood what the relationship had taken from her, there was very little of her own life left. That is the story she tells in The Compliant Cowgirl: A Cautionary Story, a memoir set in the mountains of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, written as a story rather than a self-help manual, with the help tucked into the end of every chapter.
Television & Broadcast Work
For more than fifteen years, I have hosted two award-winning television programs that extend the same themes found in the memoir.
Artists from New England highlights creative voices and emerging talent, offering artists a platform to be seen and heard.
Recovery from Religion is a nationally broadcast series that explores faith as relationship rather than rigid dogma, engaging in conversations that are often avoided but deeply needed.
Speaking Engagements & Advocacy
My work has always extended beyond the page. I have spent over two decades connected to the recovery community and dedicated ten years to prison ministry alongside my husband. I have also served as a keynote speaker at domestic violence awareness events, including major fundraisers.
Topics frequently discussed include trauma recovery, emotional addiction, generational healing, spiritual awakening, and breaking cycles of silence.
