Facts Speak for Themselves
Facts Speak for Themselves | Brock Cole
1 post | 4 read | 2 to read
This is the story of how thirteen-year-old Linda came to be involved in the murder of one man and the suicide of another. The police and her social worker think they know the answer, but they've got it wrong. Here Linda tells her own story. She sees her world and what has happened to her with compelling clarity. Her voice is direct, cool, and ruthlessly honest. She'll persuade you that she is neither victim nor fool - that the facts speak for themselves in this National Book Award Finalist.

I will begin with rating this book -5 ⭐s!
I believe the author has never been molested but could easily be a molester. The book did not disturb me as much as the praise given it.
Yes it deals with issues that effects childhood development and therefore rooted in some truths but not the majority of it. I feel like the authors biggest thrill was to keep baiting us with Linda being sexually abused or on the verge of being..
