The cheerleader, the happy daughter, the extrovert-they all disappeared the night Tori attempted suicide.

When Tori discovers a secret room in her new house and its connection to the slightly-annoying-but-definitely-cute Nick Janus from auto shop class, she's stuck between a painful past and torturous present. But as time passes and relationships deepen, Tori realizes that even though she's still alive, she has a lot to learn about living. They Didn't Know is a gripping, coming of age YA novel that deals with life after attempted suicide.
