A dream home, a successful husband, two beautiful children, glamorous country club parties: Lynn Ferguson seems to have it all.
Only her closest friend, Josie, can see below the surface. Robert Ferguson - somehow too ambitious and correct. The children - becoming increasingly difficult. And, most worryingly of all, the tell-tale marks that have begun to mar Lynn's lovely face . . .
Belva Plain's novel, written with extraordinary understanding and warmth, faces up to a subject too long discussed only in whispers.
