The Secrets We Keep

High school freshman Emma Clark harbors a secret — a secret so vile it could implode her whole world, a secret she’s managed to keep buried... until the day her best friend, Hannah, accuses Emma’s father of a heinous crime. Following her father’s arrest and torn between loyalty to Hannah and to her family, Emma is devastated to learn she must testify against Hannah’s 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 Emma’s long-buried truths. At what point does Emma’s loyalty to another become a betrayal of herself? And can Emma find the strength to finally unbury her secret? In the vein of The Way I Used to Be and Kelly Loy Gilbert’s Conviction, this heartbreaking yet hopeful young adult novel follows a girl’s struggle to reconcile friendship, sexual abuse, and the secrets we bury deep down inside to survive.

Description

"The gripping story unfolds in chapters alternating between Emma’s first-person narration of the present day and second-person narration of the past. This device builds suspense and helps readers string together clues. What was the scandal that made Emma’s family move from San Francisco to a small town in Oregon? Why does she sleep with a knife under her pillow? Vivid descriptions bring scenes to life while imaginative metaphors compassionately depict Emma’s interior struggles.... An exceedingly well-written, powerful, and suspenseful novel that lights the path toward truthfulness and healing." — Kirkus Reviews
