Amelia Island – Good Kids: Why You Suffered in Silence and How To Break The Cycle is a new book by Maggie Nick, an author, mom, and trauma therapist, coming out on January 27, 2026.
If you were called “mature for your age” or “a delight to have in class,” this book is for you. You kept it together, made everyone else comfortable, and never caused trouble — while quietly falling apart inside.
Good Kids explores the hidden cost of being easy to raise: the guilt, anxiety, people pleasing, and vicious self-criticism that follow you into adulthood. With warmth and clarity, she offers a radically validating guide to breaking the good kid cycle and healing the parts of you that don’t feel lovable…yet.
