Tell No One
by Donna M. Zadunajsky
Genre: Psychological Thriller
Mia Barnes rubbed her fingers across the scars on herwrists. No matter how hard she tried, she would never forget what happened toher. The night her whole life changed. The night he took everything from her.
Judith Barnes couldn’t shake the vivid memories of that night. The night shefound her daughter near death. Since that day, all she wanted was to know why.Why her daughter thought her life wasn’t worth living.
A story of family, love, and grief. How far will a mother go to find out thetruth? How far will a daughter go to hide it? What happens when the truth comesout?
Review: It all began with an attemptedsuicide of a mother’s teen daughter. How could a certified psychiatrist nothave seen the signs? That was the first part.
In part 2, we get the story fromMia and her attempted suicide. She mentions something about being told to “tellno one.” The whole time Mia was hoping to hide from “him.” Right away, we get amystery right here.
Whatever intrigue I had for thestory, however, quickly settles to a slow crawl in part 3, which re-hashes thefamily dynamic about 3 months in the past. It’s quite a long part, too. Whilereading this part, I kind of made a guess of who the “him” might be…and itturned out that my guess was right. Something did happen on that familyvacation with “him.” After that, Mia couldn’t tell anyone what happened,especially her mom whom she was sure wouldn’t believe her. For a long whileafterward, we deal with both mother and daughter battling with what they knowand with their crushing guilt. It all boiled down to a sad, tame, andrelatively satisfying conclusion.
It was a pretty good read, and Iliked it.
