Publisher's Synopsis
Sometimes the most difficult choice is the only one you can make.
Maggie knows the abuse she endured as a little girl isn't all that defines her. She's a strong student, varsity athlete, good person--but she's careful not to let anyone close. Because letting someone in means risking the truth, and the truth didn't work so well for her the first time.
Now there's this great guy. He makes her think that maybe she could be normal. Maybe she could be happy. Just when life is looking good, the man who abused her barges back into her life, and she discovers another little girl is in danger. She can continue to hide her past--or confront it and risk her hard-won happiness. This time the choice will be hers.
*Abuse is not depicted in a graphic manner.

Praise for Say Something"We need more great books like Say Something that speak truth to our youth...Stories matter. This is an important book for every teenager, every parent and every adult who cares about children." Kim Shirk, LPC
"Sometimes it is very difficult for adults to understand the tribulations teenagers have to go through on a daily basis. The author does a beautiful job describing the inner workings of Maggie. No matter the age, I feel like this is a must read. All in all, this novel is one of the best I have ever read and I am a book nerd." Aubree, high school student
"Cathy Morrison's young adult novel Say Something brings Maggie to life, a strong female protagonist whose voice rings true and speaks to today's times. Readers will quickly be drawn into this compelling, important story and race to the end, but the novel's powerful message will stay with them long after its last page." Lisa McWain, High School Teacher
