Join acclaimed journalist Beatrix Campbell as she reveals untold truths and hidden government agendas in her latest book, Secrets and Silence: Uncovering the Legacy of the Cleveland Child Sex Abuse Case.

The scandal was a defining moment in child safety legislation. However, it was not the scandal we were led to believe it was. Beatrix Campbell’s Secrets and Silence: Uncovering the Legacy of the Cleveland Child Sex Abuse Case, empowers unheard voices of those who were embroiled in the scandal and shares their stories in their own words.
