Crushing Secrets

Sixteen year old Evan is one of only two people alive who really knows what happened that night. It is a secret so dark and so traumatizing, that it crushes his spirit and his future. Determined to continue protecting his little brother and sister from the secrets and from their father, Evan goes to great lengths to keep the truth hidden about his mother's tragic death. But he soon finds that this level of secrecy has a high price: relationships with friends and family are destroyed, mental anguish is a constant companion, and he eventually has nowhere to call home. Alone and struggling to survive, Evan realizes the only way to exorcise the demons that have tormented his life for far too many years, is to finally tell the truth. This is his story, how his picture perfect family in an idyllic town in the South went off the rails - thanks to abuse, murder, cover-up, and the good ol' boys club.
