IF YOU TELL focuses on the experiences of Michelle Knotek's daughters, providing a unique perspective on her crimes and the impact on her family. The book highlights the resilience and strength of the sisters, as well as the power of sisterhood and unconditional love.

IF YOU TELL takes a different approach to true-crime books by centering on the experiences of Michelle Knotek's daughters, rather than the crimes themselves. The book provides a platform for the daughters to share their memories and emotions, offering a compelling portrait of terror and survival. The sisters' resilience and strength are highlighted, as well as the power of sisterhood and unconditional love. The book is not for the faint of heart, as the details of the abuse and crime are almost unbelievable. However, it accomplishes what it sets out to do, providing a powerfully honest and sensitive look at survival.
