If You Tell by Gregg Olsen Audiobook Summary
Audible Leaf
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
If You Tell is a gripping true crime story that reads like a thriller but hits close to home. Gregg Olsen brings us the unforgettable account of three sisters: Nikki, Sami, and Tori, who survived years of unimaginable abuse at the hands of their own mother, Shelly Knotek, in rural Washington. Behind closed doors, Shelly’s cruelty knew no bounds, turning everyday objects into tools of torment and her home into a house of horrors. Yet, through it all, the sisters clung to each other, proving that even in the darkest moments, hope and courage can survive.
With Olsen’s signature sensitivity and suspense, this book is not just about the evil that lived quietly in small-town America, but about the resilience and love that can outlast even the worst nightmares. As one reviewer put it, “This nightmare walked on two legs and some of her victims called her mom.” Ultimately, If You Tell is a powerful testament to the strength of sisterhood and the healing that comes from telling your truth.
