Tragedy strikes, and with Ryan's entire future hanging in the balance, Jake is forced to make a split-second decision that plunges them both into a world of guilt and lies. Without ever meaning to, Jake and Ryan find themselves living under the crushing weight of their secret, which threatens to tear their family to shreds and ruin them all. Powerful and dramatic, Keep Quiet will have listeners and book clubs debating what it means to be a parent and how far you can, and should, go to protect those you love.

"Scottoline turns what should be the happiest occasion of a teenager's life into a veritable nightmare. How often have parents said "what's the worst that could happen?" This book swings back and forth between the teenager's view to the parent's view effortlessly. The conclusion is one none of the characters (or the reader) could have imagined. It's a bumpy twisty road to get there that keeps the reader interested throughout the book. "
