RARE, the powerful and heartfelt memoir by Rebecca Hilday, is now available for readers looking for a real story of pain, healing, and faith. In this honest and moving debut, Rebecca shares her struggles with depression, PTSD, and emotional darkness—not as conditions she was born with, but as responses to trauma she experienced in life.
This distinction matters. Many people think mental health issues are something you’re born with. But for Rebecca, and many others, these struggles began because of traumatic events. Her book helps readers understand that trauma can shape a person’s mental and emotional well-being—and that healing is possible.
In RARE, Rebecca opens up about the heartbreak, grief, and confusion she experienced. She talks about what it was like to feel rejected, alone, and overwhelmed. She writes with honesty, showing that it’s okay to talk about mental health. Her story is not just about suffering—it’s about rising, healing, and believing that life can get better.
Rebecca found strength in her faith, therapy, and honesty with herself and others. Her story is filled with moments of pain but also with hope. She shows readers that there is still a path forward even after trauma. She proves that faith and self-love can help people rebuild their lives.
This book is for anyone who has felt broken, misunderstood, or tired of pretending everything is okay. It’s mainly for those who want to know they’re not alone, and that their struggles are valid—even if they began because of trauma, not biology.
Rebecca’s voice is strong and clear. She wrote RARE not to be perfect but to be real. She wants people to know that healing is possible, that they are not alone, and that mental health challenges don’t make someone weak—they make them human.
Order your copy of RARE now, available on Amazon and the author’s website. Let Rebecca’s story remind you that even after trauma, hope can grow.
About the Author
Rebecca Hilday is not just an author—she’s a force of nature. Born into chaos and raised in a world that often refused to understand her, Rebecca didn’t grow up with silver linings or storybook endings. Instead, she had grit. She had questions. She had survived.
She writes like someone who’s had to find her voice the hard way—by being silenced first. Through years of battling mental illness, enduring family betrayals, and navigating the long road of recovery, Rebecca turned her scars into sentences. Her words are a lifeline, not just for herself, but for anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t belong in this world.
A devoted mother of two daughters, Rebecca’s strength doesn’t come from pretending to be perfect. It comes from being brutally honest. In a culture obsessed with appearances, she offers something different: transparency.
She didn’t write RARE to be famous. She wrote it to be free. And in doing so, she’s created something that might free others, too. When she’s not writing, Rebecca devotes her time advocating for mental health awareness and helping others find their voice through truth-telling and reflection. She believes in grace, but not the kind that comes without grit.
