Opis

Twelve-year-old Frankie used to go out to the clearing in the forest behind her house and sit by the beautiful linden tree in the middle of it. Frankie used to laugh and read and play there with her older sister Susan and their friends, sisters Lindsey and Miranda. She used to feel God there, and be happy with all of the good things in her life. But that was before her mother killed herself. Before Lindsey stopped talking and Miranda started lying to them and dating around. It was before Susan stopped eating and put her romance novels in a moldy box in the attic. Before Frankie started acting out in class. And before her father started doing things to Frankie that's nothing like what's in those romance novels. In this novel that explores emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, Frankie struggles to make sense of the violence in her life and struggles to get her friends to open up about their abuse so that they can try to once again find that place of peace in their lives. Somewhere Only We Know shows that despite the pain, silence, and scars of abuse, there is still hope, and a new story can be told.
