Description: "Do you know a perfect family? Do you wish you knew their secret ... or secrets? Readers of Unsaid will meet Janice Marshall, a quiet sixteen-year-old with perfect, uptight parents and a younger sister, Katelyn, who is pushing the limits of their family rules. Janice has no idea what the future holds when she begins keeping a journal. She records the details of her life as she starts a volunteer job, meets the boy of her dreams, deals with her father's favorite phrase, and receives a mysterious phone call that unleashes a storm of conflicting emotions. 'One thing happens and everything is different,' Janice writes in her journal. 'Changed forever.'"--P. [4] of cover.

"The situation portrayed in Unsaid is often hidden from view, especially in 'perfect' families. This story brings into the open one of the most controversial issues of the day, giving teen readers the opportunity to examine and discuss the characters' decisions"--P. [4] of cover.
