When Tori tries to tell her mother about what happened with Uncle Andy on the ratty old couch in the basement, her mom doesn't believe her. How could kind, fun-loving, goofy Uncle Andy do something like that?
When teachers and friends notice something is bothering Tori, her story finds concerned listeners. She is hesitant to share the details of what happened, and she blames herself for her uncle's actions. Through a storm of conflicting emotions, Tori tries to communicate her pain and move past it.
When more people believe Tori, it also becomes clear that she isn't the only child Uncle Andy has abused. Tori knows her life is changed forever, but she fights to move on and even help others if she can.
WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT I KNOW is a novel in verse by author Sonja K. Solter. Her straightforward, honest story will help readers understand their own situations or that of others who have lived through sexual abuse.
