About the Author Rafaella Carla was born in Campina Grande, Paraíba, and currently lives in São Paulo, Brazil. She has always found writing to be a silent refuge. For a long time, her words remained private-until someone special inspired her to share her feelings with the world, no longer through social media, but through writing, where everything feels more genuine and intimate. Graduated in Criminology, Rafaella has a keen eye for life and human emotions. She writes poetry, non-fiction texts, and reflections inspired by personal experiences, with a touch of old-fashioned romance and rare authenticity. "The Safe Place of Silence" is her first published work, but it will not be her last. She already has other projects underway, all born from the same genuine impulse to transform emotions into words. Rafaella finds inspiration in the little things and expresses herself with truth, intensity, and authenticity. She appreciates simplicity and is the kind of person who believes that good ideas are born alongside a good meal.
