This book tells the tale of an adolescent woman dealing with trauma and looses her voice because of it. The mystery of what could possible cause her silence keeps you turning the pages without wanting to put the book down.

I had the e-book version, so I saw several typos... these really threw me off.

Also, this book isn't straightforward - you have to stick it out, because

the climax occurs toward the end of the book, and once it happens, the emotions can't stop.
