Stephanie and Jason Milo are a picture-perfect couple with four beautiful children. Although they married quickly they appear as if they had been soul mates. Jason is charming and handsome. Lynn is devoted to her family and her church. But behind the Milo's closed doors hide a painful secret Stephanie feels she must keep from the world at any cost. Not even the Milo's best friends, Joy and Grant, know of Stephanie's secret. Joy has been best friends with Stephanie since college. She recognizes that something is not right with her best friend. Joy has always felt distrust of the too-ambitious, too perfect Jason, and suspects the real cause of the children's increasingly disturbed behavior. But not even Joy can pierce Stephanie's wall of denial, a wall that will not crumble until Stephanie is forced to face the truth before it is too late. When Doors Close is a searing novel of a family's heartbreak, a woman's courage, and a subject too often left behind closed doors.
