Secrets Never to be Told

I hope readers won't be put off by the Scripture Union tag on this realistic-sounding addition to books on the child abuse theme. This one is related through the eyes of Abi, the best friend of the abused, who is sworn to secrecy. She herself suffers great mental anguish knowing that for four years Karen has been sexually abused by her own father. To make matters worse Abi and Karen's fathers are best buddies and the families are very close. Positive relationships are tellingly interwoven with the rotten one to lighten the depressing nature of the situation.
