Sleep did not come easy to Margaret that night. She clung to David in the same way she used to at the peak of her own nightmares, but tonight, his attempts to console her did not work. She laid awake all night, listening to his soft snoring sounds. She was terrified that if she went to sleep she would be forced to relive the terrible nightmares that she had thought were a thing of the past. It wasn't hard for her to imagine what Sharon's life was like at home, because she had experienced it herself. The silence, the sadness, and the uncertainty of that knock at her bedroom door most nights. Her body shuddered as she remembered her own experiences; those told to her by Alice, Sharon, and the many clients she had dealt with in her job as a Social Worker. She knew she had to do what was necessary to help her niece, Sharon. But how? Margaret the main protagonist in this story is conflicted, because she has to deal with the unexpected news that was just related to her. This novel takes the reader into the lives of Margaret, Alice and Sharon as they grapple with a relationship that they did not ask for, but had to accept. You will experience the trauma each of these women endure, and the survival techniques they use to protect themselves, as they struggle to understand why they were not protected by their mothers, who tacitly believed the fathers and remained silent witnesses to their plight Margaret is the second daughter and her story is interwoven and overlapped by those of Alice, Sharon the granddaughter, and others they meet on their journey to adulthood.
