The Tell

It's the first time an incredible trifecta of the most revered book club queens has occurred, and it was no mistake! Oprah, Reese, and Jenna all agree: this book is that incredible.

"Amy Griffin led what looked like a picture-perfect life—successful businesswoman, wife, mother—yet she was always running, both physically and emotionally. Her shocking self-discovery lets us see what can happen when you face the secrets you’ve held onto and how your life can change when you reconcile your past.” —‍Oprah Winfrey

One in three females will experience physical and sexual abuse, which means either you or one of your two best friends has. If we all want to know each other deeply, this is required reading for life's classroom. As a woman, and especially if you were raised in the South, you will relate to many of Amy's experiences, both positive and negative. The messaging was strong: raised to look effortlessly perfect on the outside while paddling like hell below the surface, get all the accolades, awards, and medals, and be a virgin before marriage while being hunted like prey by boys your own age and men. Oh, and watch what you wear, and don't look too good. Something terrible might happen; if it does, it's probably your fault.

Her daughters' question set her on the path to excavating what she had buried so deeply for many years. This book offers a lot of healing for any reader, as Amy embodies the idea that the only way to the other side is through. What a gift Amy has given to the world in The Tell.

Bravo, bravo.👏
