| Description: | Select Guide Rating I will not be silenced... No one has ever asked Izzy what she wants. She''s about to change all that... In a house adept at sweeping problems under the carpet, seventeen-year-old Izzy feels silenced. As her safety grows uncertain, Izzy know three things for sure. She knows not to tell her mother that Jacob Mansfield has been threatening to spread those kinds of photos around college. She knows to quiet the grief that she''s been abandoned by her best friend Grace. And, seeing her mother conceal the truth of her stepdad''s control, Izzy also knows not to mention how her heart splinters and her stomach churns whenever he enters a room. When the flimsy fabric of their life starts to unravel, Izzy and her mum must find their way out of the silence and use the power in their voices to rediscover their worth. For fans of Sara Barnard, Louise O’Neill and E. Lockhart, The Sky is Mine is a powerful exploration of rape culture and domestic abuse, and a moving story of women learning to love themselves enough to demand to be heard. |
