Robert and Lynn Ferguson live in a lovely home in an exclusive Connecticut community. Robert is very succesful and on the outside this couple, and their children, appear to be the *perfect family*. Even their best friends, Bruce and Josie Lehman, don't know of Lynn's shame, however, after a few incidents, they begin to suspect that all is not well in the Ferguson household. Bruises appear on Lynn frequently and Josie (who is a social worker) questions her friend, but Lynn always makes an excuse and explains away her bruises as *accidents.* In addition, the Ferguson children begin to show disturbing behavior. The wall that Lynn has built cannot come down until she face the truth about her husband's anger and abuse. The very serious subject of this well written story opens our eyes to the fact that people from all backgrounds can exerience abuse.
