"Whispers"

 

is a fictional book I've just finished reading.  I'm not sure I would say I enjoyed it but I did read every word.  It is an inside out look of an abused family who to the world are the perfect high society happy family.

Not so and as I read the tale I realized how many, people not books, may be out there. Things happen in homes we never know because like Mom always said, "You don't air your dirty laundry".

Having come from an non-abusive family, it is difficult for me to understand but Ms Plain told the story well. For insight and an easy to read tale of domestic horror and triumph, try it.

This is not my normal type of reading but I buy my books at Salvation Army at a bargain price. Then I donate them back to a local resale shop who helps abused people improve their lives with safe houses, products and services available.  Now, that's kinda weird that this book is going there.  I hope it helps someone to break away and begin anew.

I lean toward horror, mystery, and suspense novels. Also I enjoy educational books, spiritual and real history. I finish every book I begin...which sometimes is horrible torture but most times a delight.

What are you reading?

Fiction???

He was a typical abuser...
never let the marks show.
Never let the world know.
He smiled as he established a gentleman's resume.

But, when the doors closed.
The iron fists clenched
and did angry damage,
despite the begging cries and tears.

Connected, I knew.
I planned and I smiled.

The legend grows,
the speculation runs rampant.
The abuser, who feared me,
without knowing why...
disappeared.

I continue to smile.
Life is safer for the one left behind.
