In this powerful memoir, Griffin realizes there is something she is running from. Eventually, she tries alternative therapy, psychedelic therapy to be exact, to help bring her mind the protection it needs to release a traumatic past. From there, Griffin seeks justice and affirmation for what had happened. We see how the trauma affects her, her family, and others. I thank her for her vulnerability.

This book shows how psychedelic therapy can be helpful, and I look forward to more research in that area as time goes on.

I’m full of admiration for Amy telling her story. It’s beautifully written and although it’s not an easy read at times it is such a moving and helpful book.

In The Tell, Griffin lets readers in to her very personal experience of recognizing and living through the trauma and grief of her childhood sexual abuse at the hands of a trusted person. Feeling exhausted, run-down, constantly empty and on guard, though not sure why, adult Griffin partakes in psychedelic-assisted therapy where memories long forgotten and sealed off resurface. This deeply emotional memoir details her abuse and her process to justice and healing. Written with grace, vulnerability, and sincerity, The Tell is a book for mothers, sisters, survivors, and women everywhere.

Thank you Random House for the early copy in exchange for an honest review. Available Mar. 11 2025

Such an interesting narrative. The book was a bit slow to get started but once launched was full of interesting plot points and details and characters. I did question how the psychedelics fit in--would have liked a more nuanced explanation.

Amy's memoir truly deep and memorable. Her raw honesty and incredible courage made me feel seen and understood in ways I didn’t expect. Her story reminded me that even in our darkest moments, there’s hope and a way forward.

I applaud Amy for sharing her story. Brave and authentic and all hers! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. Amazing writing.

An absolutely stunning memoir. I read it in one sitting and had tears streaming down my face for most of it. Amy - I admire your bravery in writing this. Thank you for "doing the work" and sharing it with all of us. So many of us (women especially) carry trauma and struggle with perfectionism and your book will help so many people.
