I read this book between 2004 and 2014. A young girl is molested by either her father or step father after wearing a swimsuit, and doesn't tell her mom right away. I remember the book having strawberries, and possibly new shoes for the girl. At the end of the book, the girl realizes the step/father is about to move on to her younger sister, and gains courage to tell her mom about the abuse.

strawberry girl is a typo, I'm sorry. Gillyflower is very possibly it, I ordered it via interlibrary loan and will let you know once I get it!

strawberry girl was just supposed to say girl. I changed my title when I was making the post and forgot to take out strawberry
Gillyflower finally arrived to the Alaska library from the Texas library! Although it's missing strawberries, a swimsuit, and a gift of shoes, the plot line that I'm remembering is exactly Gillyflower, so I'm going to say SOLVED! Now I just have to figure out what book I got mixed up with it haha
Oh, good, glad it was the right one!If you want to post a separate thread with your memories of the other book, we can try to track that one down too. :)

It sounds interesting and I want to read it but the only Gillyflower I can find was released in 2019 by Diane Wald
it's by Ellen howard! it's a very bittersweet and poignant story, I'd definitely recommend it.
