După mai bine de un deceniu, când surorile Nikki, Sami și Tori Knotek aud cuvântul mamă, îl simt de parcă sufletul le-ar fi sfâșiat de gheara unui vultur, declanșând amintiri care au fost secretul lor încă din copilărie. Până acum. Ani la rând, în spatele ușilor închise ale fermei lor din Raymond (Washington), mama lor sadică, Shelly, și-a supus fetele unor abuzuri inimaginabile, umilințe, torturi și terori psihice. Trecând împreună prin toate aceste experiențe, Nikki, Sami și Tori au dezvoltat o legătură sfidătoare care le-a ajutat să devină mult mai puțin vulnerabile decât și-a imaginat Shelly. Chiar și în timp ce alții erau atrași în pânza întunecată și perversă a mamei lor, cele trei surori au găsit puterea și curajul de a scăpa de un coșmar tot mai intens, care a culminat cu mai multe crime. Tulburătoare și sfâșietoare, Dacă spui cuiva... este povestea unei supraviețuiri în confruntarea cu răul absolut — și a libertății și a dreptății pentru care Nikki, Sami și Tori și-au riscat viața. Surori pentru totdeauna, dar fără a mai fi vreodată victime, ele au găsit în întuneric o lumină care le-a ajutat să devină femeile rezistente care sunt astăzi — iubitoare, iubite și capabile să-și continue viața fără a se mai uita în urmă.

The #1 New York Times and Amazon Charts bestselling author Gregg Olsen solves a murder among the Amish and reveals the conspiracy to keep it a secret in a heartbreaking and horrifying true-crime story. In 1977, in an Ohio Amish community, pregnant wife and mother Ida Stutzman perished during a barn fire. The coroner''s report: natural causes. Ida''s husband, Eli, was never considered a suspect. But when he eventually rejected the faith and took his son, Danny, with him, murder followed. What really happened to Ida? The dubious circumstances of the tragic blaze were willfully ignored and Eli''s shifting narratives disregarded. Could Eli''s subsequent cross-country journey of death--including that of his own son--have been prevented if just one person came forward with what they knew about the real Eli Stutzman? The questions haunted Gregg Olsen and Ida''s brother Daniel Gingerich for decades. At Daniel''s urging, Olsen now returns to Amish Country and to Eli''s crimes first exposed in Olsen''s Abandoned Prayers, one of which has remained a mystery until now. With the help of aging witnesses and shocking long-buried letters, Olsen finally uncovers the disturbing truth--about Ida''s murder and the conspiracy of silence and secrets that kept it hidden for forty-five years.

Den sanna berättelsen om tre systrar fångade i klorna på en kallsinnig och beräknande mördare deras mor. Efter mer än ett decennium svider det fortfarande när systrarna Nikki, Sami och Tori Knotek hör ordet mamma. Det river upp minnen som de har hållit hemliga sedan barndomen. Fram tills nu. I flera år, bakom de stängda dörrarna till deras gård i Raymond, Washington, utsatte deras sadistiska mamma, Shelly, sina flickor för ofattbara övergrepp, förnedring och både fysisk och psykisk tortyr.

Ainda hoje, passados tantos anos, as irmãs Nikki, Sami e Tori Knotek sobressaltam-se com facilidade. Basta um barulho (como o desenrolar brusco de uma fita adesiva) ou um cheiro (como o da lixívia), para que revivam memórias do mais absoluto terror. E nesses momentos, mesmo na segurança das suas casas, sem querer regressam ao passado, à infância. Durante anos, e sem que ninguém soubesse, foram sujeitas a abusos inimagináveis por parte da mãe. As humilhações, a degradação e a tortura que sofreram criou entre as irmãs (filhas de pais diferentes) um elo que ficou para a vida. E que lhes permitiu não só sobreviver, como libertarem-se do jugo materno. Hoje estão vivas, casadas, felizes. E contaram a sua história ao escritor Gregg Olsen. Não Contes a Ninguém é um relato extremamente bem documentado sobre o que se passou naquela casa. Lê-se como um perverso thriller, mais assustador ainda por sabermos que tudo aquilo aconteceu. Narrativa de cortar a respiração, que nos revela o mal em estado puro, conta-nos ainda outra história: de resistência, de amor, de laços forjados nas mais terríveis circunstâncias. As irmãs, agora adultas, criaram as suas famílias, tiveram filhos e dão-lhes o amor e o carinho que nunca conheceram em crianças.

Hned první den ráno vezme Adam dcerku na loďku na lov krabů a ústřic, kterými je oblast vyhlášená. Jenže když jsou více než sto metrů od břehu, ozve se výkřik a oni jen bezmocně sledují, jak Sophii přímo u chatky přepadl neznámý cizinec a táhne ji pryč.

Zdá se totiž, že všichni mají co skrývat. Před cizími lidmi, ale především před těmi, vedle nichž každý večer uléhají do postele.
