More DescriptionRobert and Lynn Ferguson are a picture-perfect couplenbsp;nbsp;with two beautiful daughters and a lovely home innbsp;nbsp;an exclusive Connecticut community. Robert is onnbsp;nbsp;the fast track of a major corporation. Lynn isnbsp;nbsp;devoted to her family and good works. But in thenbsp;nbsp;Ferguson's closed doors hide a painful secret Lynn mustnbsp;nbsp;keep from the world-and her children-at anynbsp;nbsp;cost... Not even the Fergusons's best friends, Josie andnbsp;nbsp;Bruce Lehman, know of Lynn's shame. Social workernbsp;nbsp;Josie sees her bruises distrusts thenbsp;nbsp;too-ambitious, too perfect Robert, and suspects the real causenbsp;nbsp;of the children's increasingly disturbed behavior.nbsp;nbsp;But not even Josie can pierce Lynn's wall ofnbsp;nbsp;silence, a wall that will not crumble until Lynn isnbsp;nbsp;forced to face herself-and the truth-at last. Belvanbsp;nbsp;Plain's searing novel of a family's heartbreak, anbsp;nbsp;woman's courage, and a subject too often talkednbsp;nbsp;about only in whispers.
