Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books Whispers
It can happen in the best of families--even the Fergusons. When Lynn and Robert first meet, she's bright, fresh-faced twenty-year old; he's handsome, a bit older, a charming young executive on the fast track. From the start they fall deeply in love, thrilled by the discovery of their mutual desire. But as early as their honeymoon the gold begins to tarnish, when Robert's anger erupts into a physical assault, one for which Lynn blames herself. To all appearances Lynn and Robert are living the ultimate American dream-a lovely home in an exclusive Connecticut suburb, a picture-perfect marriage, two beautiful children, a country club membership, and wonderful friends. But not even with their closest friends can Lynn reveal what is truly happening to her family. Their secret life is betrayed only is whispers of what goes on behind closed doors.Rating Epithetical Books Whispers

Any book about domestic abuse is sobering and frustrating. This story is told with clarity, reminding us of all the reasons why we should pay special attention to one another, and pursue our intuitions if we suspect abuse. I'm of the mind that everyone knows a battered wife. You just don't know that you know.The story of a woman who had everything. A nice home, beautiful children-good friends and a hard working husband. But she had one secret that c.lose friends began to suspect......
Robert Ferguson met Lynn Riemer when she was 20. She was slightly naïve in the romance department. He was a slightly older businessman who had been married before and had a son that he hadn't seen since he was a year old. He told Lynn that she had moved back in with her family with the boy. Robert wa alwThey went on their honeymoon and that is when she first noticed his anger. They went into town and he grabbed her arm tight enough to leave marks that her father noticed when they returned back
Another upper middle class spousal abuse story.....storyline seemed to drag compared to others I've read by this author. Examines effect of abuse on bystanders....the child, friends, work colleagues.
Must be really hard writing about abuse in the home. The dad may be hitting the wife, but the whole family suffers.It was quite a good story. A bit dated but interesting to read.
This was a beautifully crafted story that gave perspective from both the abused and the abuser. I also love how the story kept you guessing as to how things would turn out because Ms. Plain included human emotion in the decisions made by the characters.
Well written fiction story of domestic abuse in its many forms. Very readable, relatable.
