Kate’s 2¢: “No Safe Secret” by Fern Michaels

“No Safe Secret” by Fern Michaels

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

I found myself getting rather upset at this young girl, then woman, for continuing to put up with abuse without reporting any of it. At the end of the story, Michaels gives the address for RAINN, which is a confidential support and research group.

Make every minute matter for survivors

Survivors Shouldn’t Have to Wait.

RAINN’s new PSA shows that every minute counts to collect DNA evidence after sexual assault.

National Sexual Assault Hotline. Free. Confidential. 24/7.

I, too, urge those who are victims of domestic violence or know of someone who is in an abusive situation, to contact RAINN  or report it to your local authorities.
