Robert and Lynn Ferguson are a picture perfect couple with two beautiful daughters and a lovely home in an exclusive Connecticut community. Robert is on the fast tract of a major corporation. Lynn is devoted to her family and good works. But the Ferguson's closed doors hide a painful secret Lynn must keep from the world and her children at any cost...
Not even the Fergusons' best friends, Josie and Bruce Lehman know of Lynn's shame. Social worked Josie sees her bruises, distrusts the too-ambitious, too-perfect Robert, and suspects the real cause of the children's increasingly disturbed behaviour. But not even Josie can pierce Lynn's wall of silence, a wall that will not crumble until Lynn is forced to fae herself-and the truth-at last.
Belva Plain's searing novel of a family's heartbreak, a woman's courage-and of a subject too often talked about only in whispers.
