Ep.3 If You Tell By Gregg Olsen

When Girls Talk Books

"When Girls Talk Books" treads into the shadowy realm of "If You Tell" by Greg Olsen, where the truth is more terrifying than fiction. Our discussion unveils the stark realities of a household marred by abuse, where the bond between sisters becomes their lifeline. With a nod to our local Maggie Mae's Bookshop and their Easter surprises, we're reminded of the lighter moments that provide relief amidst the darkness of our main narrative.
This episode is a sobering journey through deceit, manipulation, and the harrowing struggle for survival faced by Shelly's children. We navigate the complexities of unveiling such secrets and the heart-rending choices that lead to a semblance of justice, all while questioning the societal and systemic blind spots that often leave victims unheard.
Most importantly, we stand in solidarity with survivors, sharing essential resources for anyone grappling with domestic abuse. From confidential hotlines to organizations dedicated to providing support, we extend a lifeline to our listeners, emphasizing the message that no one has to weather these storms alone.
