What happens when the hardest words are Never Said?

 

15-year-old twins Annie and Sarah couldn't be more different. From their appearances (Annie's a blonde bombshell, Sarah's shy and "plain") to their interests (Annie, in beauty pageants, and Sarah, in her boyfriend Garrett…and staying out of the spotlight), the two rarely see eye-to-eye on anything. But when a terrible secret threatens to break Annie's spirit, Sarah may be the only one who can help.

A changing heart...
Annie has always been the golden child, her parents' favorite and the star of her family. When she begins rapidly gaining weight and lashing out, however, the focus shifts. Her mother laments her lost beauty, and Annie retreats further and further into herself…until it seems she has completely lost control. 

A serious secret...
But Sarah is struggling with her own issues—Garrett has left her and may be dating other people. As the twins begin to spend more time together, though, she realizes that her sister's secret is more painful than she ever could have imagined…and the things left unsaid threaten to tear the family apart. 

A new perspective...
Told from both Annie's and Sarah's perspectives, Never Said is a complex, touching novel about finding the things that really matter. Carol Lynch William's heart-wrenching tale will stay with you long after you've left its pages.
