Alternating journal entries chronicle the powerful fight for Mellie's right to choose in this important, gripping novel about reproductive rights.

Mellie has always abided by the rules of her ultra-conservative family. But when she is raped by someone she trusts, she has no one to turn to. So she keeps silent. And when she discovers she is pregnant, she's faced with a life-altering choice.

Liese is a young champion for women's rights, and when she notices Mellie acting strangely, she gets caught up in a whirlwind trying to save her…while trying to keep her own secret. One that might be the key to helping Mellie.

Told through their journal entries, this powerful, emotional novel chronicles the fight for Mellie's right to choose and the unbreakable bond formed by the girls on their journey.

Reviews for What They Don't Know

An engaging, emotional debate on rape and abortion. Hand to readers interested in hot-button social issues or those captivated by E.K. Johnston's Exit, Pursued by a Bear (2016). - Booklist A flawless deconstruction of the hypocrisy turning deeply personal matters into deeply political ones, this book follows the journal entries of two once-upon-a-time friends, both with life-altering-and perhaps life-ending-secrets. Should be required reading for anyone who's ever said, I would never. - Patty Blount, award winning author of Some Boys
