Reviews
"In her debut young adult novel, Bilen takes us into the world of family secrets from a teen's point of view. The ending includes a twist that will keep readers on the edge of their seats, and yet, once the book is closed, Sara's story will remain with readers. This is truly a remarkable story of resilience with broad appeal for teens."
--VOYA, April 2012
"Quickly paced and with a dramatic conclusion."

"Bilen reveals a chilling picture of domestic violence. Sharp prose and an increasingly tense plot make this debut a page-turner."
