Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Kimberla Lawson Roby has won adoring fans for her Rev. Curtis Black series, which includes Recorded Books' audio presentation of The Best of Everything.

In A Deep Dark Secret, a seemingly perfect 12-year-old girl harbors a terrible secret - one that threatens to tear her world apart. Convinced that her friends and family, including her mother, won't understand and will even blame her, Jillian keeps silent, enduring her pain, hoping that things will improve. But the problem only worsens. Just when things look bleakest, however, Jillian finds a surprising inner strength, and the power to hope may just be what saves her.

Great Perspective from the inside of a situation!

This book was narrated very well & kept you engaged. As for the story it brings you into ongoing situations that stay hidden until something major happens. I appreciate the offer of assistance provided to the audience at the end.

Bastard

This despicable act happens so often to young kids, I’m so glad the lil girl did what she needed to do to keep her stepdad from going the next horrible state with her.
