Book Description

January 28, 1993
This is a novel of tremendous insight and appeal. Robert Cormier

Mandy Baker was sexually abused when she was eight. Now, eight years later, Mandy is experiencing problems that she cannot solve on her own. In this candid, stirring novel, Weinstein writes sensitively and believably about an important, timely issue. Publishers Weekly

I was afraid this novel would be a graphic and uncomfortable story of sexual abuse. But no. The author doesn't give the gory details of the attack on Amanda when she was eight. Instead, she focuses on how this experience, which Amanda's family acknowledges but refuses to discuss, continues to affect her as a teenager. It's so empathetically written, I especially recommend it. Sassy Magazine

One of the few fictional accounts to consider the long-term effects of sexual trauma. The Midwest Book Review

Explores not only the tragic aftermath of rape, but also the intricately knotted ties that bind mothers and daughters. Booklist

It is the ordinariness of Ms. Weinstein's characters and setting, and the spare, no frills writing style that make this novel so shocking . . .haunting and powerful . . .We are left hopeful in the end. Children's Book Review Service

A must for all young adult collections. WLW Journal

Nominated for two American Library Association awards, voted a "Best Book" by the New York Public Libraries, No More Secrets is a true story. No More Secrets focuses on a young girl and how she struggles to overcome not only her sexual abuse, but her family's refusal to talk about it.


Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

It wasn't exactly rape. At least, that's what the policeman told my mother. With these words, sixteen-year-old Mandy Baker begins to tell her story of what happened to her long ago, and how it has affected her ever since. Mandy, a strong, funny and sometimes lonely teenager, struggles with memories on her own and how they prevent her from getting close to her best friend, Steffie, and the new boyfriend she's crazy about, Paul.

From the Author

I think it's important to realize that we don't choose our childhoods and whatever happens in them becomes either our undoing or the beginning of a strengthening of character.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, March 15, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: No More Secrets (Paperback)
I loved this book. I couldn't put it down until I'd finished it. It's not just about the rape of a young girl; it's about the complicated relationship between a girl who's been damaged by the actions of her mother, and the mother who feels guilty about what she's done. It's amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars My teenage daughter loved it!, July 13, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: No More Secrets (Paperback)
My daughter doesn't like to read, but she read this book in two sittings. She said it was funny and also sad. She loved reading about a sixteen-year-old girl who had such a tough life, but wouldn't give up.
