Set in the 1940s, Somebody Knows depicts the struggling, penniless family of Clarence Scott.  Impacted by the time’s pretentious norms and prejudices, they are often shunned. Hungry. Bitterly cold.

But the real battle lies within the family itself.

Unhappily married to Clarence, Edith Scott blames everyone but herself for her lowly lot in life. Sick of being shunned and desperate to get revenge on the snobby “do-gooders,” she devises a scheme to gain wealth and power. Sacrificing her daughter, Audrey Mae, is a small price to pay.

Audrey has felt the sting of her mother’s whipping stick far too many times. Unlike her little brother, Harry, she must do whatever she’s told without question… or else. Her only solace from her fear and loneliness comes from writing about her plight. Though outwardly obedient, Audrey refuses to give up on her dreams, and she is determined to never become like her mother, Edith.

When Edith discovers one of her daughter’s diaries, her reaction is extreme. Audrey begins a dangerous game of cat and mouse, unaware of how her mother’s grip on reality is slipping. As her mother slides into madness, the cost of Audrey’s independence may prove to be too high. This page-turner takes readers on a suspenseful journey filled with twists and turns.
