Unspoken — Sharianne Bailey

Jane Farrell is trapped in a web of family lies and finds herself victim to the vilest taboo. Deserted by the mother she loves and betrayed by those she trusts, Jane is forced to keep hidden this dark, unspoken family secret. Desperate to escape her childhood horror, she begs to go away to boarding school. The hostel provides her with a sanctuary of sorts - but what will happen when it's time to go back home? Confused, threatened and afraid, will Jane ever find the courage to tell someone? If she does, is there anyone who will hear or protect her? And what about God? Is there really any point in praying? This is part one of a two part inspirational story of abuse and injustice; betrayal and secrecy; friendship and second chances. Although based on a true story, it reads like fiction. 'Unspoken' is an affective page-turner that is at the same time, inspiring, heartbreaking and infuriating. It will not leave you untouched. Suggested Age: 15+ due to the nature of the topic.
