Stars: 4

Have kids? Do you pay attention to them when it's convenient for you? Do you care only when it suits you? Do you know your child well enough to spot the signs of pain and abuse?

Devenny shares her experience as a little girl being abused by the male babysitter her mother set up. She writes about the trauma and the after affects. She writes about the effects on future relationships.

I recommend this be read. It is simple, not bogged down with medical jargon. This is real life experience and the pain caused by a selfish parent.

I will gift this.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
And here is my honest review. I'm not judging the author for her issues but this book wasn't really worth reading. If it had been much longer, it would've been a DNF for me. It has potential but badly needs and editor. Plus the ending was abrupt.

A vital book that offers a powerful message about the importance of protecting children from abuse. Through her own personal experiences, Shellie Devenny shines a light on the warning signs of abuse and offers practical advice for parents and caregivers who want to keep their children safe. This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about the well-being of children and wants to make a difference in their lives. With its powerful message and practical advice, What They Don't Say - RED FLAGS is a book that everyone should read.

RED FLAGS is a powerful and personal account of author Shellie Devenny's experiences with abuse, both emotional and physical, at the hands of multiple individuals, including her own mother. Through her story, Devenny sheds light on the importance of recognizing the signs of abuse and acting to protect children who may be at risk. This book is a must-read for parents, caregivers, and anyone interested in promoting the safety and well-being of children.
