Don't Say a Word

Shelly Parker's life of trauma and abuse was all she knew. Her dream world was her means of escaping. Beth Parker, her mother, stayed with Curt, her husband, out of fear. His threats of taking Shelly and Beth never seeing her again to destroying her parents' farm were constant. Shelly loved her gramma and the safety in her arms as she prayed, but those times were not enough. It was easier when Curt worked in Chicago until he bought the house out in the country and moved Henry, his dad, in to watch Beth's every move.The final blow started with the attack on Shelly, followed by Beth and ending with his dad. Henry told Beth to call her friend Helen to help get her and the kids out. With the help of dear friends, they hid out until Shelly became sick again. Curt found them! With police sirens in the background and Beth lying on the ground unconscious, fear had taken another turn. Shelly questioned, Will we ever be safe again?
