(Read by)Description
A "shocking and perfect" bestseller about family and ambition from the award-winning author of Dare Me and The Turnout (New York Times Book Review).How far will you go to achieve a dream? That's the question a celebrated coach poses to Katie and Eric Knox after he sees their daughter Devon, a gymnastics prodigy and Olympic hopeful, compete. For the Knoxes there are no limits -- until a violent death rocks their close-knit gymnastics community and everything they have worked so hard for is suddenly at risk.As rumors swirl among the other parents, Katie tries frantically to hold her family together while also finding herself irresistibly drawn to the crime itself. What she uncovers -- about her daughter's fears, her own marriage, and herself -- forces Katie to consider whether there's any price she isn't willing to pay to achieve Devon's dream.From a writer with "exceptional gifts for making nerves jangle and skin crawl" (Janet Maslin), You Will Know Me is a breathless rollercoaster of a novel about the desperate limits of parental sacrifice, furtive desire, and the staggering force of ambition.

Reviews
"A dark inquest into the pressures to which American society subjects its girls."
-- "USA Today""Abbott is a genius at writing about ambitious teen girls who are more complicated, deep, and fascinating than society gives them credit for."
-- "Esquire""Abbott keenly examines the pressures put on girls' bodies and the fierce, often misguided love parents have for their children."
-- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)""Abbott...amplifies the sense of danger implicit in high-stakes gymnastics...Think Dance Moms, directed by Alfred Hitchcock."
-- "School Library Journal""Almost unbearably tense, chilling, and addictive."
-- "Paula Hawkins, #1 New York Times bestselling author ""Lauren Fortgang gives this gripping audiobook a supple and quietly dazzlingly performance. Every character has a recognizable and appropriate voice. When a sixteen-year-old appears in a flashback, you recognize her voice, but it's younger. (Wow.) Fortgang shifts fluidly from female to male, old to young in this high-stakes family drama...Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award."
-- "AudioFile""Master of mystery Abbott...brings her noir sensibility to the world of elite teen gymnastics."
-- "Entertainment Weekly""Taut and raw, this is a mesmerizing story from a master of suspense."
-- "People""The underlying tension [Abbott] sustains is so beautifully unbearable, you may be unable to leave the couch."
