Description: The Secrets We Keep by Cassie Gustafson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Told in flashbacks, dark fairytales, and present-day prose, fourteen-year-old Emma, whose best friend has accused her father of heinous crimes, must testify against her friends word, and her carefully constructed "truths" about what she may or may not have witnessed between father and friend start to crumble. Publisher Description "Visceral...a vital, heart-wrenching account of one teens harrowing experience." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) In the vein of The Way I Used to Be and Kelly Loy Gilberts Conviction, this "exceedingly well-written, powerful, and suspenseful" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) young adult novel follows a girls struggle to reconcile friendship, sexual abuse, and the secrets we bury deep down inside to survive. High school freshman Emma Clark harbors a secret--a secret so vile it could implode her whole world, a secret shes managed to keep buried...until the day her best friend, Hannah, accuses Emmas father of a heinous crime. Following her fathers arrest and torn between loyalty to Hannah and to her family, Emma is devastated to learn she must testify against Hannahs word in order to keep her family together. As Emma wrestles with this impossible decision, her fractured past begins to resurface piece by painful piece--causing the line to blur between her present-day reality and the dark fairy tales she writes to survive, all of which threaten to expose Emmas long-buried truths. The Secrets We Keep explores the complex, powerful bonds of friendship and family, asking the difficult question: At what point does Emmas loyalty to another become a betrayal of herself? And perhaps the toughest question of all: Can Emma find the strength to finally unbury her secret? Author Biography Cassie Gustafson hails from Northern California and majored in words, earning a dual-BA in comparative literature and Spanish at the University of California, Santa Barbara, an MA in English literature at Cal State Fullerton, and an MFA in writing for young adults at Hollins University.
