Laura Shirk is an innocent, 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 deeply thought provoking novel that beautifully conveys how love and strength can heal all wounds.

Let your light shine bright.

The story revolves around Laura, a once happy and innocent child whose life takes a tragic turn when she becomes a victim of abuse. The author skillfully portrays the devastating impact of such a traumatic experience on Laura's life, stripping away her innocence and leaving her grappling with deep-seated pain throughout her life.

While at times, some of the scenes were very difficult to digest and listen to, its something that needs to be discussed more and not make it taboo.

The narrator, Yvonne Roberts, whose empathetic and perceptive voice adds depth and authenticity to the story. Roberts captures the essence of Laura's character.

The author brings to life her anguish, anger, and eventual glimmers of happiness as she navigates her journey of healing. You can't help but to root for Laura on her journey and hope that eventually through all of this trauma she finds her own happiness.
