Maybe she could be happy.Just when life is looking good, the man who abused her barrels back into her life, and she discovers another little girl is in danger. She can continue to hide her past--or confront it and risk her hard-won happiness.This time the choice will be hers.* Abuse is not depicted in a graphic manner.Praise for Say Something"We need more great books like Say Something that speak truth to our youth...Stories matter. This is an important book for every teenager, every parent and every adult who cares about children." Kim Shirk, LPC"Sometimes it is very difficult for adults to understand the tribulations teenagers have to go through on a daily basis - sometimes more in the head than anything else. The author does a beautiful job describing the inner workings of Maggie. No matter the age, I feel like this is a must read. It allows young adults to become familiar and "woke" about the harsh realities of the world and how certain things can happen to anyone. It also allows adults to understand how teenagers think, which could lead to better relationships between the two generations. All in all, this novel is one of the best I have ever read and I am a book nerd. Sitting down and taking a day (and I do mean a day because you won't be able to put it down) to read Say Something is a choice you will not regret." Aubree, high school student"Cathy Morrison's young adult novel Say Something brings Maggie to life, a strong female protagonist whose voice rings true and speaks to today's times. Readers will quickly be drawn into this compelling, important story and race to the end, but the novel's powerful message will stay with them long after its last page."
