About S.R. Fabrico
S.R. Fabrico was born a raised a Yankee who loves NY-style pizza and Philly cheesesteaks. She was introduced to the amazing world of Southern BBQ after moving to Tennessee where she lives with her husband and two children. She considers her family her main priority, everything she does is for them.
She attended college in the ’90s and received her degree in mathematics with a minor in secondary education, she went on to coach cheerleading and dance for 20 years winning a World Championship.
She loves anything and everything creative, so writing has always been a hobby. When she isn’t writing, she likes to wife hard, mom hard, paint, read good books and watch good movies.
Writing THE SECRETS WE CONCEAL has been an incredible journey. Writing through paramount sadness recalling moments from the past was challenging, but also immensely gratifying. I am who I am today partly because of my life’s experiences, all of them.
I believe a glass half full mentality is what keeps me going, I make a personal choice to find the good in all things each day and appreciate the gifts that each person in my life has to offer.
My hope is that this book will shed light on an uncomfortable topic and allow others to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for choosing to read THE SECRETS WE CONCEAL.

A Note From the Author
What made you write a book about child sexual abuse?
I originally wrote the book for my husband. I had my own personal experience and I wanted to share with him the ins and outs of my experience so he could understand me fully. However, I also wanted him to truly know that I was okay.
In addition, I felt like in general, it’s a topic that a lot of people don’t want to talk about. It is too difficult, and I understand, but it is helpful to understand what a person goes through when processing, grieving, and healing through any type of trauma. I chose to write the story as fiction drawing from my own experience so possibly more people would be willing to read it. Perhaps it is easier to process, if it is fictional, you know?
There are many people out there struggling every day with their own personal trauma, trying to press forward and live the fullest life possible. I guess I hoped that writing this book would help others see that it is possible to put the pieces back together and find happiness, to find peace. You can and should let your light shine as bright as it can shine and lift those up around you. If The Secrets We Conceal helps even one person find the hope, strength, or courage they need to overcome then it was worth every single minute.
