 This lively story opens with eloping teenagers, Micki and Butch, in a bizarre double ceremony with Micki's mother. The couple share wonderfully comical escapades, spanning decades, until tragedy strikes. There has been a terrible accident in a placid valley nestled in the Susquehanna Mountains in the town of Williamsport, Pennsylvania.  It occurs just blocks from the family's hundred year old haunted farmhouse, on a country lane. Micki narrates happier days, using their delightful past to confront an uncertain future -- as the family copes with fear and apprehension. One of her six children is fighting for life in the hospital; in a semi-coma, hovering between this world and the next. The family embarks upon its unbearable journey to the other side of grief, and grasps the poignant gift as they begin...

Shhdont tellthese words, spoken by her father, mark the beginning of a cycle of abuse that darkens the authors childhood and teen years. The men in Michelles life were supposed to love, guide and protect her. Instead, her father, Jacob, a heroin user and alcoholic, begins molesting her when she is just a small child. Once he has gone, her mothers alcoholic and verbally abusive boyfriend, Brent, finds out about Jacobs mistreatment of Michelle and begins abusing her as well. To add to the hurt, family members ridicule and demoralize Michelle and her siblings as they grow uppunishing them because of their mothers past. Most devastating of all is betrayal by the one person whose love should have been unconditional: Michelles mother knows that both her husband and boyfriend have abused her daughter, yet she ignores the situation.

 The abuses go on for years, making Michelle feel embarrassed and ashamed of herself, as if it were her fault. She loses her self-esteem, becomes depressed, and even has thoughts of suicide. Like many girls who have suffered from abuse, she also has sex at a young age. While Michelle struggles to overcome adversity and to rebuild her self-esteem, one of her biggest fears comes true. Just as her family had taunted her, she now finds herself in the same situation her mother once faced: She is pregnant at sixteen, and still in high school. The childs father, who is Michelles first love, walks away. Will she be able to raise her baby without the support of the father? Will she manage to graduate high school? Or will she become the failure her family has predicted? These are the questions that remain at the end of this, the first of four memoirs. But Michelle has already started to find the inner strength she will need to turn her life around, and her message to readers is clear: Always believe in yourself! Never give up!
