Whispers by Belva Plain
Last Minute Sales & Specials
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 track of a major corporation. Lynn is devoted to her family and good works. But the Fergusons' 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 worker Josie sees her bruises and suspects the real cause of the children's increasingly disturbed behavior. But not even Josie can pierce Lynn's wall of silence, a wall that will not crumble until Lynn is forced to face 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.
