About the book
Some stories live inside us for years
Nichole and Gabbie are inseparable two straight-A seniors bound by loyalty, laughter, and a love of sports. On the night of a championship party, their world shifts in a way neither of them could have prepared for.
Her Story Was NOT Mine to Tell follows the aftermath of a single night that fractures everything. It is a story about what happens when someone you love is hurt in the worst way and you are the one left holding the weight of it.
Raw, honest, and deeply human, this book explores the silence that follows trauma, the loyalty that can become a burden, and the long road toward truth for both the one who lived it and the one who witnessed it.
