Promise You Won't Tell Nobody

Kimberly T. Matthews, treads in emotionally rich and disturbing territory in Promise You Won't Tell Nobody, a book listed as recommended reading by Love our Children USA, the leading national nonprofit and 'Go-To' prevention organization fighting all forms of abuse, violence and neglect against children in the United States.

The voice of Tasha leaps off the page and she makes us promise we won't tell anybody...although if someone would have told maybe Tasha's life would have turned out differently.

"I wanted to commit suicide. I had suffered four long, torturous years of my father's intimate abuse, but it was all going to end tonight, Sunday, May 16th. I hadn't planned it that way, but that's what was to happen. All the stuff would hit the fan."
