Or read it FREE with KindleUnlimited subscription! | Book DescriptionThe Tell, published Father's Day 2014, is a must-read for everyone tasked with the magnitude of loving a child… despite it all. A veritable survivor’s manual, this true memoir runs the gamut from the highs of adoption to the lows of sibling incest - peaks and valleys in a landscape that was previously flat - where the passage of time is sometimes the only way through such uncharted territory. |
Members of a local FAC/FCC (Families with Asian Children/Families with Children from China) adoption support group called for the book to be taken off retailer shelves in order to remove the very taboo topic of sibling incest "from the public eye"! As if not talking about rape makes it go away. No more silence. No more shame.
“At once haunting and waggish, The Tell reveals something meant to stay hidden. It is a memoir difficult to ignore or forget. Chronicled are the tragedies and triumphs of one family after frank revelations of unthinkable acts against a little girl. The Tell reminds us all of the tenuous nature of our own relationships, while simultaneously strengthening our resolve to persevere when love no longer seems enough.”
“Blood is not always thicker than water.”
“A cautionary tale of taboo, disregard, and fate. This true adoption story with a foreboding undercurrent of happily-N’Ever-after delivers, instead, the twist of hope. Meant to bring a voice to sibling incest, The Tell delivers in spades.”
