It seems nearly perfect: the high arched window alcoves and tall granite pillars, the overspill of lilac at the front gate and the immaculate playing fields, the giggling students, the dusty, oak-lined library, and the dark, festering secret she has come to expose. At first, Lou's working-class status makes her the consummate outsider, though all that changes when she is befriended by the beautiful and wealthy Shauna Power. But Lou finds out that even Shauna is caught up in Highfield's web, and her time there ends with a lifeless body sprawled at her feet. Thirty years later, Lou has rebuilt her life after the harrowing events of the so-called "Highfield Affair," when she gets a shocking phone call. Ronan Power, Shauna's brother, is a high-profile lawyer bringing a lawsuit against the school. And he needs Lou to testify. Now with a daughter and career to protect, the last thing Lou wants is for Highfield Manor to be back in her life. But to finally free herself and others, she has to confront her past, go to battle once more, and discover, for once and for all, what really happened at Highfield. Powerful and compelling, When We Were Silent is an unputdownable, thrilling story of exploitation, privilege, and retribution"--. $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Private schools $0 (DLC)sh 85107046 650 0 $a Students $0 (DLC)sh 85129296 650 0 $a Rich people $0 (DLC)sh 96003262 650 0 $a Suspense fiction $0 (DLC)sh 98004883 650 0 $a Psychological fiction $0 (DLC)sh 85108438 650 1 $a Secrets $0 (DLC)sj 96006094 650 0 $a Privilege (Social psychology) $0 (DLC)sh2017003293 650 0 $a Retribution $0 (DLC)sh 93005823 651 0 $a Dublin (Ireland) $0 (DLC)n 79065753 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Thriller fiction. $2 tlcgt 941 $a 1 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20240523010352.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C5D646C218C911EFA32E7E3A4FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
