“A haunting tale of innocence being stripped from a young girl, but with the power of finding confidence and self-worth. Profoundly moving while shedding light on an important social issue that every parent needs to pay attention to. A must read for any parent/care giver who wants to feel empowered to have an open conversation with their child to keep them protected or allowing them to have a voice.”

“S.R. Fabrico has created a book where we can find unexpected messages about ourselves and the world around us.  I resonated with the main character, Laura, and the journey that she overcame.  Her story is full of moments that change lives and while my story is different from hers, there are commonalities that brought pain yet also brought the feeling that I could share my journey and struggles.  I cried, laughed, and loved this book, it is a must read!”

M.W., Survivor

Laura Shirk is a normal, happy, go-lucky, little girl playing with Cabbage Patch dolls and Legos. Until she isn’t. Set in the late 1980s-early 90s, a visit to her aunt and uncle’s house changes everything.

 

What follows is a nerve-racking story shedding light on child sexual abuse. As the tragedy unfolds, Laura mutters through life concealing her secret from everyone. Feeling alone and isolated, she struggles to navigate her younger years wondering if she can or will ever find happiness.

 

Then, Laura meets ‘the perfect man’ for her. Can he heal her heart and break down her steel walls?

 

The Secrets We Conceal, S.R. Fabrico’s debut novel is a riveting coming of age story that beautifully conveys how love and strength can heal all wounds.
