In Silent Screams a young girl deals with a pregnancy that occurs after a rape, and fights to keep secret who the abuser is. She pushes away those who care for her, and is pushed away by those who do not understand what she is going through.
The review of this Book prepared by Mary Gibbs




Jessica is a girl with secrets, dark secrets that she feels she can't tell. After a failed suicide attempt, she is referred to a psychiatrist, who is determined to find out the reason why Jessica wanted to kill herself.

The story she hears is not a happy one, a tale full of family secrets and betrayals. It soon becomes clear that Jessica isn't the only one with secrets and some of them should have remained buried...
