The Things I Could Tell You! the award-winning novel

“A definite page turner! J. L. Woodson is absolutely inspiring.
Word for word, he compels the reader to sit up and take notice.”

“This bright young author has written a story that hooks you in
the prologue, which cleverly describes the intense ending of the
story. The story is a pretty accurate portrayal of the effects abuse
can have on a family and the extreme results that can occur. We
thoroughly enjoyed this story. A Big ‘Write On’ to J. L. Woodson!”
— Darcina Garrett, The Literary Diversions Book Club
“I strongly encourage parents/adults to read this book because it
shows what we, as women, tolerate sometimes for too long.”
— R. Hopes
