Our Little Secret

“In depicting her abuse and the aftermath with rawness, realism, and a dreamlike final act—in which 'Lady Justice' is a temp who’s late to pick up her child from day care—Carrington has done a service to all who navigate trauma without tidy endings.” —Publishers Weekly

“Carrington is a terrific storyteller, even if her muse is her deep deep pain. I found myself cheering for her, turning page after page of this graphic memoir hoping that it would get better, that she would get justice or revenge or both.” —Newcity Lit

“Readers who have no first-hand experience with such ordeals will find her account heartbreaking and illuminating; those who find it familiar will — hopefully — feel less alone.” —The Stranger

“Seeing Carrington conceptualize a way out that was not available to her childhood self is immensely valuable for all readers, particularly survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Hopefully, this book gets into the hands of anyone who needs it.” —Quill and Quire

“Our Little Secret handles her dark experience with frankness, yet her book leaves the reader with hope that healing is possible.” —Zoomer
