“Secrets Are Out Now: How a Girl Overcomes the World” by Crystal Rivers is highly praised by Kat Kennedy of the US Review of Books, who underscores that “this heartbreaking tale of a woman’s search for identity is, at its core, a story of survival. Her candid chronicle of her life depicts one of struggle and disappointment, but, as she states in her book, “I am a survivor.” And so, she is. She attempts to give her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren a good life, putting her family first. Through her trust and devotion to God, she finally pulls her life together, though she continues her search for a good and peaceful life. Readers will be astonished by Crystal’s journey, but most of all by her perseverance. She never gives up on trying to better herself and finding the peace she so desires. This fascinating story of survival stays with readers long after the book is finished.”
