Unseen and Unheard: The Battle for Respect and Understanding isn't just a story—it's a statement. A fierce, emotionally raw debut by teen author Madison Goodman, this novel pulls back the curtain on what it truly means to fight for your voice in a world that refuses to listen.

Meet Gemma Westley—brilliant, determined, and tired of being underestimated. Living with ADHD and autism, Gemma faces more than just the pressures of high school. She's battling teachers who dismiss her, classmates who don't understand her, and a system that treats her like she doesn't belong. But she's done being silent. And she's done being small.

With her loyal best friend Paige, her unbreakable twin sister Ainsley, her loving parents, and the relentless advocate Patricia by her side, Gemma begins to realize: strength isn't about hiding who you are—it's about demanding to be seen.

Inspired by Madison Goodman's own life, Unseen and Unheard is a story of pain, perseverance, and power. Madison wrote this novel as a way to process her truth—and to give a voice to those still searching for theirs.

For anyone who's ever felt invisible, underestimated, or different—this book is for you.

Unseen and Unheard isn't just about living with ADHD and autism.

It's about surviving. Rising. And learning to thrive—on your own terms.
