"Transformative and illuminating ... Through every agonizing revelation, Amy Griffin refuses to pave over her pain, opting instead to embrace the entirety of it. This is a powerful story of what can happen when self-compassion replaces fear as the governing force of one's life."-Chanel Miller, New York Times bestselling author of Know My Name

"Our minds may repress, but our bodies keep the score. The Tell is an honest book that will help us trust that wisdom."-Gloria Steinem

"An extraordinary memoir paced like an expertly plotted thriller, each page unraveling the mystery of who Amy is and what happened to her ... I will be thinking about this book for a long time."-Jessica Knoll, New York Times bestselling author of Bright Young Women

"What a generous story. What beautiful writing, crafting, and pacing. And what a heart Amy Griffin has. Your own heart will break, and mend, as you read."-Susan Cain, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bittersweet and Quiet, and host ofthe Quiet Life community

"Overflowing with heart and determination, The Tell is the story of a journey-the day-by-day, step-by-step, hard-won push through harrowing emotional terrain. In finding the words to tell her story, in showing what it is to trust herself, Amy Griffin shines a path forward through the dark."-Mariska Hargitay

"In this brave memoir, Amy Griffin reveals how confronting past wounds is the key to true healing, allowing us to live as thrivers, not merely survivors. Success in adulthood doesn't erase the scars of childhood trauma."-Nedra Glover Tawwab, New York Times bestselling author of Set Boundaries, Find Peace
